Status Maldives:
Constitution: The constitution was supposed to have been finished by June. SO many clauses have been passed with minimal representation from MP's. The ones we elected are not attending hence leaving and absence for the Regime MP's to take the vote their way. Many articles are not inline with international treaties we have signed and ratified. Many articles are not finished. The new constitution seems to try to move towards proper democracy but people wonder will it ever be finished??
Election: Supposed to be held in August but we still do not have the new election commission which should be established according to new constitution a month before election
Old or New Constitution:The fight between DRP and the rest of the opposition is whether the new election will let Maumoon be eligible for candidacy. DRP wishes to ahve election under old constituion and opposition wants new. Nothing final yet.
MDP??:The largest opposition and the biigest thorne in Maumooons side MDP is failing in memebrship and recruitment and keeping it together. Sad to see the strong allaiance have failed.Munnavar being a sour looser wants to divide MDP and take his supporters with him.Where i wonder? Falhu rashakahtha?
Allaince: The allaince decided that the first election if no one gets 51% then we go for a second round [think of all the costs] and then the candidate who got highest votes in first election will be chosen as a Alliance representative and everyone backs him. Yea right! as if they would not stab each otehr in the back.
The People:Still confused about which candidate...most people seem to awant change but do not see another elader better than Gayyoom and everyopnes afraid of uncertanity making them decide towards Gayyoom it seems. More people are talking about democracy and freedom and rights but still mroe education needs to be there.While MP's get 60,000MrF the prices of food have gone up so much that ordinary citizens cant afford locally made tuna fish cans even.
CIvil Socieyty: NGO's and News papers are trying to create a more aware voting population. Trying to raise the importance of getting out to vote messages. But the capacity is limited and questions of integrity of NGO's are still risen amongst general public. Their work is often misunderstood and thought of more in political light.
Future???: Bleak very very very Bleak...Maumoons chances of staying in power grows with his throwing out money and subvertive campaigns. The big percent of youth whose future will be decided in these comming months woiuld rather party, do drugs and not care...it seems..and nobody gives a #$@%$%% about THEM!!!!
Solution:???????????????

good points you've raised here. is actually upto the people more than anyone else. if only they realise, and not just realise, if only they act on it. i know you're being realistic, but i still think the future need not be so bleak if we get together and turn things around instead of bickering among ourselves and easting our time preoccupied with meaningless things. you'd call me a dreamer :)
*wasting our time
Well IF is too big a word here..does the oytuth care?
