UPDATE:
Interesting posts in blogworld

• Yan has the translation of an olloo survey on the current political situation among 600 people.
• Chris thinks "The foreign accounts of the situation tend to be much more dramatic and negative "
  
• again from Yan the following thought:

the whole mess still looks more like a power struggle than a struggle between democracy vs. authoritarianism (as implied by the democrats) or competent managers vs. incompetent dreamers (as implied by the MPRP), or corruption vs. honesty (as implied by both).

UPDATE 2:
