Cambodia (Personal Analysis on the present and future situation of Cambodias politic) Cambodias political deadlock in the aftermath of the national election on 28 July 2013. With a mere reception in 2008, wheat the ruling party, the CPP, won a landslide victory, Cambodia would have political deadlock after the official result of the election in which the opposing party denied the result based on irregularities of the election. This year is not different. Though the National Assembly and the government were set up but a matter of legitimacy and recognition from the international community, especially the foreign donors and investors are central at the status quo. However, as long as negotiations are still undergoing, compromise remains to be seen and, for sure, a move from transition to a real democracy in this post civil war country will come for their people. No vast discrepancy in power sources, defragmented voices in the ruling party, consolidated voice in the opposition, small groups of leaders from both sides in the process of negotiation, willingness for shared goals between the two parties are all amounted to our optimism of Cambodias future. Yet, it is a matter of time for two reasons. First of all, both sides need time to deal with their members of controversial views but less significant, especially the authoritarian regime in power whose top leaders want reforms but discouraged and pushed back by their conservative members. Also, the opposition needs time to calm down their supporting voters. In brief, all of these accounts amount me sufficiently to presume a real democracy comes soon. No matter what their party members want or wont, demography and liberal democracy are the chilling and dynamic forces for Cambodias move toward a real democracy.
