| | She said the conservative campaign also included the Supreme Court's decision to uphold a two-year jail sentence for graft against Tehran mayor Karbaschi and growing threats to oust the president's liberal culture minister through a no-confidence motion. | | | As public opinion increasingly shapes Iranian politics, the power of the people has become a serious rival to the institution of the supreme leader, and to the clerical establishment as a whole. | | | Until last autumn the Kargozaran, a moderate faction led by the popular reformist mayor of Tehran, had been a major force in Iran's emerging democratic politics. |

| | Due to the critical stances of some leading reformists against Rafsanjani's non-democratic approach to reform, his second daughter, Fatemeh, alongside with other pragmatists such as Mahmoud Vaezi (the former deputy foreign mimister) and Hossein Kamali (former labor minister), who are loyal to her father, set up the Hezbe E'tedal va Tose'eh. | | | In sum, the reformists support a transition to a democratic pluralist state, pragmatists promote bureaucratic authoritarianism, and fundamentalists favor a more totalitarian approach to politics. | | | He is a professor of political science at the University of Tehran. |
