Harsh American Criticism over the Egyptian Polls
 
The American Administration termed the Egyptian parliamentary vote as disgraceful and flagrant. It voiced its concern about the upsurge of violence level that marred vote rounds. It, in addition, expressed its worry over the widespread corruption among people of power.       
 
The American dailies Washington Post and Loss Anglos released crucial reports over the vote that imply the collapse of the ruling National Democratic Party. They added that the poll outcomes embodied a stiffly-warded warning. The vice of the American State’s spokesman, Adam Early, stressed that the Egyptian government intended to hold unfair elections, referring to thuggery tactic applied by the ruling NDP.
“It is the due time for the U.S. to contact the Egyptians directly,” Early said. He cited remarkable vote irregularities of voters’ prevention from casting ballots; especially the Muslim Brotherhood’s supporters, and polling-box stuffing under the watchful eyes of election observers.
 
The accounts linked mounting voting for independents and opposition, MB in particular, to the popular distrust in the Mubark-ruling NDP and to the inefficacy of the regime to overcome social and economical problems. Unemployment rates 20%; moreover, 33% of Egyptians suffer from poverty-related problems besides the wide gab between the poor and the rich.  The corruption level soars among top officials and their inner circle in addition to the media degeneration that designed to divert youth from being occupied by noble ends for themselves and for their country.
