Summary/Abstract |
Call it the curse of democracy;soon after a democratically elected government begins its term in office, the parlour game du jour centres on the life expectancy of the government.Will it complete its term in office or not? A similar frenzy of speculation has not appeared to have surrounded dictatorship or army-led governments in their early days, leading civilian politicans to blame conspiracies, anti-democratic forces and hidden hands of trying to foment mischief against the democratic order.
