East Timorese Elections, 2007

[Hash]

Bah, chances are East Timor will become a democratic nation in the style of Namibia or Mozambique, where the party that won independence controls government for atleast... some time, in the style of SWAPO or FRELIMO.

Well, Cape Verde got a new party after around 15-20 years of PAICG, and in Guinea-Bissau, all hell broke loose. But I still predict the Fretelin will dominate for a good 10 years before a new party wins.
