Bula and congratulations on making Robie's list.
I have followed your blog and would like to point out the "X" factor variable.
Most of the people who supported Qarase (including my elite friends) are the rich, powerful and urbanites. A lot of my friends who were connected to the SDL became rich overnight. These are the people who have PCs at home and can read and comment on the numerous blogs. These are the people whom Frank Bainimarama has "neutralised" and, they in turn wage a campaign of misinformation against his administration. Included in this list are politicians, lawyers, NGOs and foreign governments.
The people who support the regime are the poor and marginalised and a lots of expats and investors who agree with his will to rid corruption from our system.
Except for the expats and the investors, the majority of Frank's supporters do not own or have access to computers. Most live in the poor settlements, villages and outer islands. This is the "X" factor when considering your survey and the type of respondents you would encounter.
Continue the good fight on behalf of the people of Fiji.
Yasayasa.

We should ask ourselves how and why "A lot of my friends who were connected to the SDL became rich overnight" - shouldn't we? No one becomes "rich overnight" unless they win a lottery, inherit a fortune or.....are in highly questionable circumstances. In other words, they are likely to have been accomplices/conspirators in corruption. If this corruption involved the misuse of public money and abuse of public office, then these persons connected to the SDL Party must be investigated and charged. There is no future for Fiji which will be equitable and peaceful until this process takes place. The people of Fiji themselves must join in the 'Good Fight' against corruption. And many of us do have access to computers and we do not live in poor settlements or villages or in the outer islands. Perhaps we are the 'Y' factor?
