Fascinating to be able
to watch at close-hand two elections – one in Cambodia and the
other in the UK. Now we know that they are very different, so you
can't make true comparisons, but they do give rise to interesting and
valid observations on electoral processes.
One major distinction
is clear. For the ruling party in one country the election was wanted
and called, whereas for the other, it is not welcome, at least while there's any risk of losing.
