Banning the Reformists?

Iran's parliamentary election has seen a bold sweep of disqualification from the country's rulers. The Guardian Council headed by Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has disqualified more than 7,000 candidates, a move that threatens to bring turnout to a record low and tighten the so-called hardliners' grip on power. So if the vote leaves conservatives firmly in control of parliament, will it be a fair victory?
