Same Same, but Different

No matter where you live, it's all the same rhetoric.  A Japanese Foreign minister met with the Cambodian Prime Minister, and this is the result of their conference.  I will paraphrase the first part.

Japan dude - "Hey, your voting system is totally not cool."
Cambodian guy- "What?  Did you not pass math class?  51% is a majority."
Japan dude - "Uh, cough...perhaps you should consider a 2/3 majority which would be much more democratic."
Cambodian guy- "Then, no one would win."

(End paraphrasing.  Insert actual statement found in the Phnom Penh Post.)
Japan dude - "So there is only Mr. Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party that is afraid of losing power forever?  He does not want to make reforms?  A two-thirds requirement will help democracy become stronger."
Cambodian guy - (no answer was stated, but I can imagine the deathly stare and jaw-clenching.)

(In regards to allowing the CNRP, the rival political party, to have their own t.v. station, this is the response.  Again, no need to paraphrase here because the actual statement is awesome!)

Cambodian guy - "We will not give it to you for being so insolent.  You can go and start a station on the moon."

In summary, no matter where you live in the the world, politics are all the same.  Justice does not prevail.  The ones who win, either are better liars, scarier, or have more money.
