Balancing Bhutan

March 24, Bhutan held its first democratic election. It will take a while, however, for the nation to get used to the concepts of democracy. For example no political party can make camp outside of any temple and when one of the major parties in Bhutan tried they were forced to leave and move to a half built hotel. which is smart cause it helps keep people from influencing the vote on election day. The Idea of democracy Bhutan's fourth King said that he would grant his son his wish of establishing a constitutional monarchy in Bhutan. this will be hard to from a democracy and maintain their traditions and beliefs as a nation.
