Just a few points to make as to lessons learned from the past, and the ongoing struggles you're facing.

The Australian colonies became democratic during the mid 19th century, with South Australia being the first government in the world to introduce women's suffrage in 1861.

New Zealand granted suffrage to (native) Maori men in 1867, white men in 1879, and women in 1893, thus becoming the first major nation to achieve universal suffrage. However, women were not eligible to stand for parliament until 1919.

So you see my friend, the problem is that allowing anyone (king, noble or commoner) to have the kind of power created by the Constitution guarantees corruption of even the most good-intentioned politicians.

Nobody ever willingly gives up that kind of power. We can only hope and pray for a peaceful transition if the proposals are amended or ever passed.

im with you there my fren, since im just me with no power over all these i'll have to agree with u

With prayers and hoping for the best to all, it's just a matter of "wait and see" now. But let's not lose face about having no power yet my friend!!!

Per the proposal, you'll soon elect 17 reps to the parliament. So, whenever you decide to run for office, I will gladly volunteer my services to be your campaign manager!!! LOL

Our campaign slogans??? Here's three to contemplate for now:

"UNITER, NOT DIVIDER... VOTE 4 FELEMEA"

"FROM HERE TO THERE... VOTE 4 FELEMEA"

"ME NO FEFE... TO FIX THE MALEPE"... HAHAHA LOL
.....(SCARED).........DAMAGED) ...:)) Here's 2 ur health. SALUTE!!!
