Tim, I agree with your conclusion. Cambodia is not that bad, from your experience people are allowed to start an opposition party. I hope you learned your past experiences and go back to create your own party, you have qualities and talents in that area. The biggest obstacle is probably funding, it’s easier to join a party that’s already existed.
It seems that all the oppositions are there to anti the ruling party, the CPP. To topple and to win in order to improve this nation then here is a chance they might win, but to topple and to win so they can make lots of money then the chance is they will never win. By doing so about making money they would get a similar and equal reaction. The ruling party has been there for many years and has a strong foundation. It can not be up rooted by a new comer. An opposition party existed to anti another party is not healthy at all. There should be a motto to keep all members in line. The motto should be about improving and creating. Everything begins with one step at a time. It doesn’t work and giving up too soon is the lack planning in advance. Many people join a political party because they want to make money or be rich, but get disappoint and left when there is not any. When the party has a problem with funding or money is because their organization doesn’t invest to generate enough income. What people don’t realize is the CPP has investments everywhere in the country to generate the income they needed. If the opposition parties stop thinking about anti and put their energy into making money like the CPP, sooner or later they will become force to be reckoned with.
