Zimbabwe: Opposition May Participate in Runoff

At least they have not ruled it out, though they are calling for a foreign verification of the vote first.

Additionally, MDC is suggesting that some sort of power sharing may be possible witn ZANU-PF, but not with Robert Mugabe.

This is a sensible position. Mugabe appears to be viewed as a lame duck by even his allies, and this might be a way to ease him out.

The core of the matter is that considering the dire straights the country is in, whoever is president will have very limited options in policy, and the same applies to whoever leads the parliament, so "anyone but Mugabe" is not an unreasonable position.
