Objective and effective consolidation of the value of democracy assuring that it is the way to achieve the goals and aspirations and dreams of the Egyptians towards progress, stability and prosperity . 2. The concept of deepening the real democracy - rolling of the majority while preserving the rights of the minority- to be lived and as a way of life as an effective mechanism for solving problems in all areas of political and social life . 3. Clarifying that the absence of democracy (as a real concept and effective exercise) from our lives is the direct cause of the spread of corruption in all aspects of life in Egypt . 4. Seeking to raise awareness of the need to establish objective criteria for the selection of candidates, including how to differentiate between them on the basis of the programs and ideas, not on the basis of personal interests and benefits . 5. Confirm that all Egyptians are equal before the law and all of them have the right to exercise their political rights both in nomination and in election, and that the differentiation among the Egyptians is based on the experiences a candidate can bestow to his country.
