Workers in Iran stayed away from these so-called elections in their millions. They were right not to have faith in a show masqueraded as elections, where only Muslim males faithful to the regime can run, while opposition political parties and candidates are all suppressed. --

I find it hard to believe that the majority of Iran's (presumably mostly male) working class is really incensed at the lack of female candidates. The Iranians made their choice -- deal with it. This is also the first time I've heard that the Iranian working class lived in "unimaginable poverty."

While we're at it, can we get rid of the word "regime" for "government we don't like"?

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
