		In the first general election in 1992, Reddy was elected to the House of Representatives and became a leader of the constitutional opposition.

	List of Prime Ministers of Fiji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		As a former British colony, Fiji has largely adopted British political models and follows the Westminster, or Cabinet, system of government, in which the executive branch of government is responsible to the legislature.
		In practice, this usually reduces the Prime Minister's appointment to a formality, as the parliamentary leader of the majority political party or coalition is invariably appointed.
		The Prime Minister of Fiji is technically the "first among equals," whose vote in meetings of the Cabinet carries no greater weight that that of any other minister.

		The land tenure system of the part of eastern Fiji that in former times had been the confederacy of Bau was adopted for the whole country, together with its distinct hierarchical system of control and authority.
		The disadvantages of this practice are the insecurity inherent in the fact that it is not a legally recognised practice, the lack of control over any abuse of the practice, and the tendency for the land to be over-utilised, with little thought of conservation, during the term of the agreement.
		Description of Fiji's dual land tenure systems, and the discussion of some of the issues that followed, reveal the complexity of Fiji's land tenures and its consequent tenure- related problems: a complexity which in the past has been naturally difficult to document and therefore understand.

		A review of historical election results shows that rural precincts tend to provide lopsided majorities to candidates from prominent local families and that many of the family names in politics today - Lahoud, for instance - are the same ones that were there in the 1940s or 1960s.
		Fiji is an interesting case study here: the post-1987 conflict seems to have hardened ethnic identities and inhibited cross-ethnic parties.

		On 18 July 2003, the Supreme Court of Fiji ruled that Qarase's exclusion of the Labour Party from the Cabinet was unconstitutional, and demanded that the situation be rectified.

		The problem with prevailing analyses of the political situation in Fiji is the notion that the conflict is between indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians.
		The late Dr Timoci Bavadra, Prime Minister in the predominantly Indo-Fijian Labour/National Federation Party coalition government, was consistently described in the media and literature as a “commoner” even though he came from a noble Fijian background in the chiefly village of Viseisei.
		In the first post-coup election of 1992, however, Ah Koy re-emerged as a political candidate, this time on the indigenous Fijian electoral roll.

	An analysis of the current political crisis in Fiji
		The problem with Fijian nationalism is that there is no Fijian nation.There are Fijian provinces, and traditional Fijian confederacies, butthe two military coups of 1987 and the current hostage crisis illustrate with disturbing insistence the erosion of indigenous Fijian social order and the fragmentation of indigenous Fijian leadership.
		Ratu Mara's leadership draws on the mana of his own chiefly title, Tui Nayau; his wife's mana, (the Roko Tui Dreketi, from the confederacy of Burebasaga, is the highest chiefly title in the islands); and his close association with a tight elite cohort of European, part-European and Indo-Fijian business interests.
		In Fiji's disconcertingly racialized electoral system (comprising three electoral rolls-Fijian, Indian, and General) general voters have historically aligned themselves with indigenous Fijian chiefly interests.
