[edit] Infobox
Having checked the infobox, I'm a tad confused. We've got the 'President of Fiji' and the 'Paramount Chief of Fiji'. The former suggests a republic, the latter a monarchy. GoodDay (talk) 22:05, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- No, "paramount chief" doesn't suggest a monarchy. Well, some people might think this expression means that, but it doesn't have to mean that. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- Should we continue including 'P.Chief' in the infobox? GoodDay (talk) 22:54, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- It should be removed immediately until better sources are provided. If there is any doubt the information is wrong it should be gone, and there appears to be a lot of doubt we need some better official sources. BritishWatcher (talk) 22:58, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- The Fiji version of wikipedia has her in it though. [1] but says government type Republic then calls her Monarch. This is very strange we should remove mention of Queen Elizabeth II just incase it is mistaken. BritishWatcher (talk) 23:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- When I first read the infobox, it confused me. GoodDay (talk) 23:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
Fiji has been a republic since the aftermath of the 1987 coup, and the implementing of the 1990 Constitution. However, the Great Council of Chiefs subsequently recognised that Queen Elizabeth remained Paramount Chief of Fiji. She is still Tui Viti - i.e., Queen of Fiji. The title is purely honorific, and does not bring into question the legitimacy of the Republic. It's explained here to some extent, with sources. Aridd (talk) 16:17, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Demographic revolution
According to Prof. Wadan Narsey, the Indo-Fijian population is now only 33% of the total population. http://24hdanslepacifique.com/revolution-demographique-aux-iles-fidji —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.235.79.227 (talk) 03:40, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
- The 2007 census date says there are 313,798 Indo-Fijians, out of a total population of 837,271. That's 37.5% - the lowest it's ever been, I think. A further drop to 33% is not inconceivable, but only official data should be presented as... well, official. Aridd (talk) 09:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
It is outdated to say that "Politics of Fiji normally take place in the framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic". Fiji is a military dictatorship, and should be described as such. The present pussy footing around is like saying that Russia in 1920 is still an absolute monarchy. It is time that the description catches up with the reality.124.197.15.138 (talk) 06:50, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- Note the use of the word "normally". Fiji's politics normally take place within certain constitutionally defined criteria, the specifics of the current "interim government" notwithstanding. It is not for us to guess what the future may hold; we can only indicate the constitutional norm, and inform readers that the country has, for the time being, departed from it. Aridd (talk) 09:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Republic of Fiji
Fiji is now officially known as Republic of Fiji and not The Republic of The Fiji Islands. Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office, Colonel Pio Tikoduadua said the name, Republic of the Fiji Islands, as stated in the 1997 constitution is no longer applicable. He also confirmed that the government is now officially known as the Fijian government, not the Fiji government. CrystalFiji 06:46, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Is there a source for this? You need to add one. Nightw 06:40, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes I added the source and also I live in Fiji and I follow the current affairs and I know what is happening in my country. CrystalFiji 07:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- Is there a legislation that has been passed? Your source is an online news thread that cites the Prime Minister's secretary? I'm not sure what the protocol on this is, but surely there needs to be proof of a constitutional amendment (although in Fiji's case this would probably be difficult). This may be another Myanmar/Burma issue. Have you any better soures? Nightw 05:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- The decree has not been published (yet), but the name change already is an established fact. See, e.g., here, here and here (p.33). Henning Blatt (talk) 13:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Lost constitutional document
Should the misplacement of the official document of independence be mentioned? Jackiespeel (talk) 21:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Section Layout
Has anyone else noticed that there are twice as many sections in this article as in something like Canada? (I use that as an example because it has been rated FA... Also, I don't count the references, further reading, etc. sections.) Anyway, why don't we merge Tourism in to the Economy section? And Holidays and Sport (and maybe Language?) in to Culture? Transportation could potentially merge with Economy as well, although I'm not as sure about that... Anyway, if anyone has an opinion, let me know! Otherwise I'll go ahead and make an edit in the next couple days...AntarcticPenguin (talk) 01:19, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
