Monks and voting

I’ve written before on monks and voting, implying that for the most part, non-Cambodians don’t understand the ambiguity of emotions and opinions of the majority of Cambodians on this issue. It’s a bit like most white Americans trying to understand the black American response to the OJ Simpson verdict.  But the latest news moves the goalposts a little farther. Seeming to accept that monks will vote in the next election, the election monitors have tried to set a bar against them running for office.
