The post revolution phase in Cairo is marked with optimism and hope. It is an opportunity for reforming political structures, public management, social justice, and bettering onself. Talk shows are handling political structures and public management by interviewing various types of of public figures for their visions for a better Egypt. Then there are the strikes from various sectors demanding social justice. On the streets you often hear the joke of "how can you behave this way after a revolution?".
An inspirational change is the concept that you can now set up your own political party. This idea in itself is very empowering for inviduals. If you have an ideology and vision for a better Egypt; write it up and market it.
Here is what my political party looks like for Egypt:
1) Target the infrastructure (ensure it is updated and reaches large numbers of citizens)
2) Target the informal areas and informal economy (ensure it is registered and protect citizens envolved)
3) Target the political structure, and public management and planning (ensure it is well managed and monitored for better services for citizens)
In broad lines the target is to tackle the wide poverty and social injustice that Egypt as a whole is experiencing. I would want to be called the social justice party.
The idea in itself to thinking of a political party gets a person to think outside themselves and what is necessary for the greater good. This type of thinking is not always possible outside a revolutionary context. We seem to be living our daily lives, concerned with schedules and making ends meet needs. In this new situation change and progress is possible. It is critical to dream and see yourself as a part of wholistic system that can be reformed.
