As Egyptians begin to discuss prospects for the autumn 2010 parliamentary elections, speculation is already beginning about whether the outlawed but active Muslim Brotherhood will field candidates, as it did in 2005 and many previous elections.

Presuming that it will, this article asks the more important question: will the government allow the group to win whatever seats it might actually gain in an open and fair election?
