There was nothing "democratic" about Morsi's election. The first round was falsified to present Morsi as the alternative to a Mubarek supporter, so the voters in fact had no choice. The "parliament" was illegal and dissolved. The "constitution" was written by the MB and imposed by plebscite. The most democratic outcome would be the popular overthrow of Morsi's "democratically elected" regime. But a destitution of Morsi followed by military-supervised democratic elections would be second best.
