Now he is saying it is the beginning of the end for His Royal Highness Prince Ranariddh and Funcinpec. This hurts not only me but all his followers. And the reality is that the royalists have to make this a real constitutional monarchy. You cannot eliminate 2,500 years of history. Also, we are wise enough to make our monarchy liberal.
Real power lies with the representatives of the people.
The King is a force for unity, but he does not have much political power. I am a member of the royal family, but I am a democrat. Long ago, your father once chose to step down as monarch to pursue politics, then later ascended to the throne again. It's better to be the prime minister. Last year's amnesty for the Khmer Rouge's Ieng Sary was extremely controversial.
