LOCKED INTO A BOX: SODELPA has spent most of its campaign, finance, and manpower talking of Chiefs, Church, Christianity, Land and Indigenous Rights Issues at the expense of bread and butter issues which really matter come elections, especially to
Youth Voters and 'Fijifirst' Voters!

Fiji's Registrar of Political Parties has overturned his previous ruling and has registered One Fiji Party to contest the forthcoming general elections after admitting an error in their data matching exercise. Mohammed Saneem had on Friday morning declined the application of the party under Section 6(3)(1) of the Political Parties Registration Decree because they lacked the number of signatures. However, in a statement released this afternoon, Saneem said otherwise after reviewing the party's application after it was discovered an error was made during the data matching process. “After the review, we were confident that the applicant met the minimum membership requirement in each division, making it eligible for registration,” he said. After having met the minimum threshold, the Registrar then considered the objection filed by FijiFirst party comparing it against the One Fiji party's response. “Having considered the matter, I have decided that the applicant’s official name – the One Fiji Party – does not resemble “FijiFirst” enough to cause confusion for voters,” he said. However, the Registrar said it was also his opinion that the applicant’s logo “OneFiji” too closely resembles FijiFirst's concept and has therefore instructed the party to submit a new logo by Tuesday, August 5. The One Fiji Party becomes the seventh registered political party under the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Decree 2013. Source: Fijilive, 3 August 2014

Qarase also formed SDL Party to split votes after the GCC failed to unite ITaukei under a single banner when Speight held parliament hostage.

Qarase had threatened the SVT, FAP and PANU and went ahead to do agriculture scam to gain votes.

So the cleanup Frank ended up doing what Qarase did in 2001 but no Bxxx's to admit their mistake but ready to accuse Frank only when both during each of these elections were dictators.

Congratulations to OneFiji and FUF on your registrations. Now step bravely and confidently into the election arena without fear. Fiji voters are sick of the CHOR present and past politicians. Democracy is about Choices – More the Merrier. Now convince me to vote for you because:-

It is good to see dedicated fresh faces with newer ideas.;

The Bai/Kai lot (FijiTheft Movement) is so blatantly morally and intellectually defunct so as to be BORING, Constipated FAT FARTS;

Sodelpa has such a frightening RACIST past which they’ll have difficulty shedding. Its appeal is just that – being RACIST!

FLP has a convict CHORO Leader;

NFP is looking better by the day.
