Khamenei is speaking about the upcoming parliamentary elections on March 14, 2008 which candidates began registering for this past weekend. He says that Dr. Mossadeq which was a “mardomi” government at time dissolved Majles twice, yet Jomhuree Islamee has never done so despite all the states of emergencies and enemies plots. What do you guys think about that his argument?

So what do you guys think? Should people participate in elections or boycott them? Last time many people boycotted the presidential elections and we ended up with Ahmadinejad. Not that Khatami was much better, but the political and social climate in Iran was much more relaxed.
Also, do you guys think these Majles elections are important? Do you think “reformists” are going to win? Do you also believe what the western media says that these elections are a “referendum” on Ahmadinejad?
