	Republic of Fiji
		Fiji was declaired a republic in October 1987 with the establishment of a care-taker government until the promulgation of a new constitution in 1990 and the election of a civilian government two years later.
		In the mean time, Fiji narrowly averted a complete economic collapse, instituted a racially biased constitution, and has continued to suffer from a lack of skilled technicians and mid-level managers as Indians left in droves fearing a second girmit; a second-class life dependent on the largess of the indigenous Fijians.
		The biggest change in the election was among the Indian seats, where the moderate National Federation Party, led by Opposition leader Jai Ram Reddy, increased its parliamentary strength at the expense of the Fiji Labour Party, lead by trade unionist Mahendra Chaudhry.

		Nevertheless, what we are probably going to see after the election is a whole series of court appeals by losers claiming that their losses were due to inaccurate registration.
		To invalidate the whole election, a remote possibility, would not be a very politically logical decision for the country because, apart from the heavy financial costs and complex logistics, it has the potential to spawn grievances by those opposed to the ruling.
		Election is not an end in itself as some of us tend to believe but a means towards future stable governance for the country.

		As political parties in Fiji have in practice represented mostly ethnic rather than ideological interests, elections tended to result in a government with little representation from outside of its ethnic power base.
		This was a leading factor in the 1987 coup: the election of the Bavadra government, which included only 4 ethnic Fijian ministers, had provoked a month of increasingly disorderly protests which culminated in the coup led by Lieutenant Colonel Sitiveni Rabuka.
		Fiji's decision to follow a similar course was another reflection of its faith in British constitutional models: while the standard Westminster cabinet model was rejected as unsuited to local conditions, alternative models rooted in British practice were studied, and one was adopted.
