This leads to speculation that the supreme leader may yet quietly promote a rival, but less controversial, principlist figure, such as Mohamed Qalibaf, who has proved himself a skilled administrator as mayor of Tehran, rather than Mr Ahmadinejad. Some leading principlists have also proposed a coalition conservative government that would dilute Mr Ahmadinejad’s role. Such quiet manoeuvring inside the principlist camp suggests a fear that either they, too, could find themselves split, or that the reformists will, despite Mr Khatami’s absence, actually succeed in galvanising new voters.Quite amazing that a magazine like The Economist, takes these monsters in Iran seriously, when the people of Iran don't. The Economist even speculates about outcomes.
A Seyyed/Theocrat reading such articles, thinks he is being taken seriously by the Western press. It is a sad day when the decent Iranians living abroad have to witness such errors in Western press. No wonder these illegal monsters are still in Iran.
