| The opposition ?reformist? factions can hope for 30 seats at best in the 290-member legislature, after the unelected Council for the Preservation of the Constitution barred some 1,700 of their candidates. This left some of Iran?s 30 provinces with no contenders. Dominated by Revolutionary Guards ex-officers, Iran?s next parliament will therefore act as rubber stamp for the extremist ?conservative? camp headed by president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. |
