Although it would have been if women had been allowed to organise it.’</p> <p>But not everyone was as enthusiastic about the radical changes, supported by a poll stating that 97% of respondents agreed that their wives should not hold political office. ‘Women were not created equal and we should embrace the traditional roles that Allah has blessed us with,’ said one anonymous source who didn’t wish to be emancipated. ‘But that said, even He must have seen that if my Saleh was doing 30 in that built-up zone near the market last Tuesday, then I’m a Latvian pole-dancer.’ </p>
