I'd vote NO

If I was in Egypt today, I'd vote NO. It's another emotional day, as Egyptians go out to vote in the constitutional referendum taking place today. I feel a bit teary-eyed at the thought that again, I'm missing out on a significant moment in Egypt's history and I don't know why Stevie Wonder's track: That's what Friends are For, is running in the back of my mind.

If I was there, I'd vote NO, because I believe Egypt needs a new constitution, not an amended one that was built on the wrong foundations.

I hope NO wins today, as I'd like to see a fair democratic political process being built, with the right amount of time required to get to an Egypt with a strong democratic fair and tolerant foundation.
