AFP: Campaigning began in Iran on Thursday for parliamentary elections to take place on March 2, with officials and state media calling for a big turnout to counter "enemies' threats" against the regime. It will be the Islamic republic's first national poll since the controversial 2009 re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. A total of 3,444 vetted candidates are vying for the 290 seats in the parliament, known as the Majlis, to be decided by an electorate of 48 million voters >>>

This Circus of "Elections", IRI style, used to be amusing to....
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri Feb 24, 2012 09:26 AM PSTwatch. But ,now it is simply boring us to death. Even the "fundamentalist Reformists" (yea, I know, makes no sense, just quoting) wing of the Islamist regime's political establishment are asking for it's bycott.
That would only leave " Ali leader", a few thousand of his sandis khors and few million rural poor who must vote to get badly needed government handouts, as participants of this not so funny circus act.
