Egyptian voters overwhelmingly approved proposed constitutional amendments that pave the way for parliamentary elections in June, according to the head of the judicial committee overseeing the referendum.
"We are proud of the Egyptian people for deciding their own destiny," Judge Mahmoud Atiya said Sunday. "We assure the world that the March 19 referendum was fair and transparent at all stages."
Of the 18,366,764 ballots cast Saturday, there were 14,192,577 "yes" votes and 4,174,187 "no" votes, Atiya said.

I'm sorry Abdel and Ziad, it is not a true democracy unless people can choose for themselves if they want beer like in America.
Are the Egyptian people still upset about the Mubarak era emergency powers act? You recall...when a dictator can simply spew an executive order, and snap! it happens. Hay! We have that here in the USA too! But nobody is upset about our own Richard Nixon era emergency powers act. even when Obama used it to cram some AIDS drugs past the FDA, nobody noticed, or if they did, they didn't talk about it. We called him "Tricky Dick Nixon" long before Watergate ya know. Sorta "slick Willy Clinton"ish.
