National dialogue

Tongans searching for consensus on democracy - academic

A National Dialogue on Democracy starts in Nuku'alofa tomorrow as the country prepares to go to the polls on November the 16th.

This comes after King Tupou VI dissolved the parliament and effectively sacked prime minister 'Akilisi Pohiva.

Everyone's been invited to take part in the dialogue which aims to take stock of the democratic reforms brought in under a new constitution in 2010.
