The capital/labour dichotomy is common democratic dualism- as in the bi-party system –Labour / Tories – expressed in most Western democracies from UK, Germany most European states, the USA, NZ and Australia (& others). The political parties either represent the ‘workers’ or the employers. In this way, the ‘bread and butter issues, always takes priority over ‘racial’ and other issues.

Indeed. The Capital-Labour conflict in Fiji was politicised and ultimately crystallized into the development of political parties along this fissure eg the conservative and pro-Capital Alliance Party of Ratu Mara in the 1970-80's and the socially progressive Fiji Labor Party under Timoci Bavadra.

And I would like to know how a respectable and reputable international body like the ILO can allow a usurper and thug ruler like Aiyaz Khaiyum to appear before it to make any submissions?
