Tunisians are now enjoying the pleasure of thinking up the most improbable “scenarios” of political alliances between political Islamists, militant secularists and left wingers. Why? The Tunisian parliamentary elections of October 26 did not produce a majority party and rumours are everywhere. For the left, the results have posed serious problems. In the elections, Tunisians slowed the progress of Tunisian political Islam. Instead, the vote gave a green light to a new centre-right party, Nidaa Tounes, which shelters ex-members of the Democratic Constitional Rally (RCD), the party of ex-dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/57740 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
