Egypt has a one-party system

Do Egypt have a political system in Egypt? Perhaps in form but definitely not in substance. Egypt may have a constitution, a head of state, a prime minister, a parliament, judicial institutions, political parties, and civil society organizations, but Egypt cannot be considered part of an overall system.
Egypt don't have competent institutions. What Egypt have is a man with powers to dismiss the prime minister, the ministers and even parliament. And that man can circumvent the judiciary by sending whoever he wants to exceptional tribunals. He can also prevent political parties and civil society organizations from playing an effective role.

This means Egypt has only one political institution, namely the presidency, rendering all other institutions utterly inapt.
