Addressed previously in the string by me.Poll: No constituency for Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Egypt
"This is not an Islamic uprising. The Muslim Brotherhood is "approved" by just 15%, and its leaders get barely 1% in a presidential straw vote.
Asked to pick national priorities, just 12% choose shariah over national power, democracy, or economic development. Asked to explain the uprising, economic conditions, corruption, and unemployment (30‐40% each) far outpace "regime not Islamic enough" (7%).
Surprisingly, asked two different ways about the peace treaty with Israel, more support it (37%) than oppose it (22%). Only 18% approve of either Hamas or Iran. And a mere 5% say the uprising occurred because the regime is "too pro-Israel."
1/3 Looms Large in a country of 10% parties.me said:However, the Muslim Brotherhood/Islamists will almost certainly be an even larger party (already the largest despite suppression) and depending on the new structure of the Egyptian govt, it's PM will probably be a Brotherhood-er.

There's NO WAY it would come down that much! We're currently paying $6.62.
Well played, you crazy Euro. :lol:
You think that was a gag? Hahahahaha! :boohoo: It really is $6.62. Thanks God my car does 45 mpg.
Quick calculation says it's $7.50+ where I am....
Ouch! It's €1.30 a litre in southern Spain. I'm guessing you're paying £1.30, no?
You live in Castrolford? Or somewhere in Greese?:mrgreen:Yep, leave the cities and head into the highlands it's £1.40-50.
And I live in the oil capital of Europe...

Well, if it goes to that here, you'll be paying $14-15.
It'll never get that high because the street riots would happen at about $8.
Actually, it's going to be determined by the army, but what the hell. Right?
Saudi Arabia next?
.That'll be a ****ing mess. We'll probably see WW3 come out of that scenario.
More like $10
