It is easy to criticize the Muslim Brotherhood for their Democratic and gradualist approach, but do you really think that their long term goal is anything other than to unite the Muslim countries and rule according to Islam?

It is easy to say they are doing it wrong they need to do it like...., but what are we doing ourselves when we say that? We have to be careful that we don't go to dreamland and develop unrealistic flights of fancy that cause problems and hurt a lot of people.

A few years ago (apparently like many other UK Muslims) I spent some time studying with HT and basically they were very critical of a gradualist approach and considered voting un-Islamic, but what have all their efforts come to? a lot of speeches, marches, classes, leaflets, a lot of calling for Khilafa, a lot of suffering of HT members in certain countries and what else?

At least those promoting a gradualist approach are achieving something, it may be two steps forwards one step back, but it is still going forwards. Islam was a fading thing in some Arab lands some decades ago, now it is thriving and the influence of the Muslims upon society is growing. Muslim Brotherhood has been a big part of this revival in many lands.
