WE HAVE A TOUGH TIME ACCEPTING WHEN OUR ALLIES IN THE REGION WIN ELECTIONS:

Morocco election: PJD declares victory after early counting (Reuters,  25 November 2011)

Morocco's Justice and Development party (PJD) has declared victory in a parliamentary election that should produce a stronger government after King Mohammed ceded some powers to prevent any spillover from Arab Spring uprisings.

The PJD, supported largely by Morocco's poor, would be the second moderate Islamist party after Tunisia to lead a north African government since the start of the region's Arab Spring uprisings.

The party hopes to push Islamic finance but says it will steer clear of imposing a strict moral code on society. It will have to join forces with others to form government.
