Let democracy work

The general elections are over. The process of forming an elected government is ongoing. Two important things to watch are how well the new government tackles back-breaking inflation and how judiciously it goes about collecting taxes from people and businesses. If the establishment desists from post-election intervention, there are chances for a relatively strong parliament and a relatively more representative government. But if it does not, then a weak parliament and a less inclusive government will find it challenging to contain inflation effectively or tax people and businesses judiciously.
