FIJI COUP December 6, 2006

Another coup in Fiji, despite its slow and steady gestation, is detrimental and disappointing for all the people of that country. I suspect that this is a coup driven by monomania, not public support.

Mark gets to check out a bunch of references at Larvatus Prodeo.

My suspicion is that this coup represents a failure of the indigenous elites, including the Council of Chiefs and the Military leadership.

CODA:

And talking of elites, or in her case anti-elitism, Pauline Hanson is promising us a return to the national political stage, according to The Sydney Morning Herald, so we can once again avail of her informed opinions and prejudices.
