    Doubtful. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has nowhere near the backing to take over the Egyptian government democratically, and they don't have the manpower to take it over militarily. Even under a proportional representation system, the Muslim Brotherhood would be forced to enter into a coalition if they wanted to govern. As such, their presence in a coalition would be moderated by the other coalition members. So, no, there will be no Muslim Brotherhood-led Caliphate.
