* Under the electoral laws, a party cannot form a coalition before the election, only after it. The parties would have to merge and become one party to take on the FFP
* Another scandalous electoral decree that has been enacted is for all political parties to provide how they will fund their electoral promises.
* AUSTRALIA should NOT have provided the so-called BUDGET SUPPORT of $190million to FFP in the election year for Aiyaz Khaiyum to dish out election freebies. Voters would have risen up against him.
* Its amoral and scandalous for any incumbent government of the day to demand that Opposition parties must provide a breakdown of how they will fund their election promises but the Government can saddle the nation with a $10billion debt and borrow more from international agencies. It's like the Opposition going to a bank manager only in their underwear as security. How can they justify election promise costs?
*We had a similar spectacle in the 1997 Constitution where Sitiveni Rabuka and Jai Ram Reddy had made power-sharing MANDATORY if parties crossed the 5 per cent threshold. It led to the downfall of Chaudhry's People's Coalition government with disparate coalition parties speaking in different tongues. He won landslide mandate but formed the government on bent knees under the 1997 Constitution which required mandatory power-sharing after a general election
* Isa, talking of MARRIAGE, did you notice NFP's Dulainiya (Bride) cloyingly looking into his newfound BRIDEGROOM, Sitiveni Rabuka. We will analyze these two's distorted history about the 1999 elections.
* Soon, we will demand an explanation from BIMAN PRASAD whether he was aware, as FRCA Board Member, of serious fraud and tax charges against PAAPI's national treasurer JOSEVA LEANO, who was sacked in September 2007 from FRCA after he was found guilty of all the charges
There is something really ROTTEN in Fiji
Fijileaks: Indo-Fijians should be very wary of the 'Political SNAKE' consorting with Father of the Coups, who is hiding behind IMMUNITY. We owe it to the memory of those INDO-FIJIANS who were RAPED, MURDERED (that includes our Editor's deceased 22-year-old sister after the 1987 coups), DISENFRANCHISED and DEPORTED that this 'Political Charmar' is not in a position to make Rabuka the Prime Minister of Fiji, again, with Prasad as his Deputy Prime Minister. Once again, this bloody rascal is agreeing that Indo-Fijians must remain, second class citizens, for, to quote former NFP leader Jai Ram Reddy:
'Fiji is NOT ready for an Indo-Fijian Prime Minister' .
GOVERNANCE: We didn't hear about Sitiveni Rabuka's governance record from 1987 to 1999 when both, Rabuka and Reddy, were booted out in the 1999 general election
A COALITION OF TWO HEARTS?: You must have been living together before marriage and under a common name. That is what the scandalous coalition decree means in practice. Under the electoral laws, a party cannot form a coalition before the election, only after it. The parties would have to merge and become one party to take on the FFP. But Aiyaz Khaiyum has got his political cake and is eating it. The election will be held under authoritarian decrees, and Australia and New Zealand are complicit with their Budget Supports and funding to Elections Office
