What changed Europe?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

What changed Europe?

Post by juansweetpotato »

Seeing as there is an election coming up, and there is some disbelief as to any real change being possible under either party by many Cambodians, I thought it may be interesting to give Cambodians our thoughts on what enabled Britain etc to change from something rather like Cambodia today to something that is seen by many as a more just society.

Any thoughts or ideas as to why/ how the change happened/ was even possible, are appreciated.

The issue with Cambodia is the endemic corruption. It's probably eating up over half the economy. Unless there's someone who's going to deal with it, reduce it to just 5 or 10%, the place will never amount to anything. I don't know how you fix the idea that tomorrow doesn't exit.

Well they all take the vote and say they will change this and that but in the end, you are like wasting a vote there. There is quite less good leader left and the rest Is all dirty politician.

That has been the case since time immemorial. You want to love without politicians? And how about =all these people constantly moaning about politicians trying to get elected themselves? Of course that will never happen....
