Seems the evils of democracy are a long way of thanks to Morsi and the MB :BBC News - Egypt elections: ElBaradei warns of chaos
Mr ElBaradei told the BBC's Jim Muir: "We need to send a message loud and clear to the people here and outside of Egypt that this is not a democracy, that we have not participated in an uprising two years ago to end up with a recycling of the [Hosni] Mubarak regime.
"Torture is still there, abduction is still there, a lack of social justice is still there."
He said elections should not be held in April in a society that was "completely polarised".
To do so, he said, would risk setting the country on a "road to total chaos and instability" and that the intervention of the army might then be common sense, to stabilise the situation until the political process could be resumed.
He said: "If Egypt is on the brink of default, if law and order is absent, [the army] have a national duty to intervene."
Mr ElBaradei said the basic problem was that Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood had spent 80 years in opposition, and was now "intoxicated with power".
