In the new Libya, only a very limited number of people will be allowed to stand as candidates in future elections.

The government consists of Islamic extremists and other CIA assets.

Libya under Gaddafi
The government "has expanded from 9 to 86 members, but no one even knows who they are or how they are appointed.
"Its meetings are held in secret, its votes are not published, and its decisions are announced only irregularly on television broadcasts.
"No one knows how the estimated monthly oil revenues of $5 billion or the $200 billion of Libyan investments are dispersed."
