The best remedy for Egypt’s inactive political scene is merging like-minded political parties

The best remedy for Egypt’s inactive political scene is merging like-minded political parties to create bigger, more active, and more visible entities, Hassan Abu Taleb writes for Al Ahram. The country has far too many parties, and none commands much popularity, Abu Taleb says, suggesting that the excess in choices is the culprit. He urges parties to pool their resources into fewer but more effective parties to revive Egyptian politics.
