They have to at some point - the only Cambodians I know that 'like' the government are those paid by them and the civil service and institutions aren't that big. I thought the people were going to follow through after the elections in 2013, but they had no fight in them. When is it going to happen???

Question ,,, If one had a enemy, would n't you prefer to see them all in the same uniform so you knew who they are and where they are .

Second question .,,,, Would you like to see your enemy dressed up in your uniform waving your flag and standing behind you knowing that all the time they are gathering information and waiting for just the right time.

They were close in 2013 when lots of people were disenfranchised and even then the current party only just scraped it (anecdotally, my sister in law went to cast her vote only to find her name had already been struck off the list as, unbeknown to her, she had already voted). Suppression only takes you so far for so long.

It is not the place of foreigners to make changes to a host country it is the role of the people of that country. All constituents used to have representatives in government but only some would turn up for work. I believe that if you have an elected role then you must represent those who placed their vote and trust in you. To be not prepared to stand up (and yes you can be knocked down) for your beliefs and either not turn up to work or run away how can you expect the people or international entities to do it for you?
Lead and others follow. Stand still and everyone lines up behind you.

Nothing will happen the people wont revolt. HE is too entrenched with all his troops and money. The people aren't willing to rock the boat, things are going well enough economically, not perfectly but good enough. Even if they wanted to revolt how would they? They have no way to do it.

Cambodia is surrounded by genuine communist or military dictatorships, but they don't receive the same flak from the Western media, due to their cozier ties with the US.

The pain & fear from an bad era has not vanished & is still very strong, also as soon as any group gathers they are literally smashed to bits by the 'special police'...thats why you're not seeing a revolution, i see elsewhere you claim to have spent 12yrs in PP? yet you seem oblivious to the methods of the ruling party to keep people under control?
