Iran is not a democracy, candidates at the presidential election in the coming weeks must be approved by a counsel.
The latter doesn't allow liberal candidates, and iranians have lost interest in the coming election because it will keep the Theocracy currently ruling in power.
Also, the supreme leader is at the top of Iran's power structure and is not elected by the iranian population.

- pepperonipizza 5y agoI am not american, and I wish iranians to have the freedom to chose their government. Most of them hate the islamic regime, this is a country with so much potential, ruined by a Theocracy.
