A 'e fakapikopiko!
I do present one conundrum with these photos: how could King George's favourite electoral candidates have been routed at the polls on Thursday, when such an elegantly persuasive case for the monarch's rule had been advertised on a Nuku'alofa billboard in the weeks leading up to the vote? How could anyone reject the recommendations of an 'icon to the globe and world history'?

Clive Edwards - what a slippery eel.
Pro-democracy in NZ, then the enforcer for the King when he went home, now suddenly anti-monarchy again...
^^^^^
something you should know about politics in Tonga...especially Clive as an example...it is strikingly personal more than ideologically driven in terms of which cause you are championing...
