Egypt’s political landscape is dominated these days by the Constitution or elections first debate. Where do you stand?

Parliamentary elections should be held first, and on schedule.
The Constitution should be drawn by a constituent assembly reflecting the aspirations of all sections of the nation. I choose Constitution First.
I support the proposal of possible presidential candidate Mohamed El-Baradei to draw up a Bill of Rights first
I support the proposal of possible presidential candidate Amr Moussa to hold presidential elections first.
I believe the whole debate to be a waste of time.
I have no position on the matter.
