AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Apparently, some analysts are saying this "anti-corruption purge", is more of a plan from the Crown Prince to consolidate his power. By arresting such prestigious figures, he is convincing his people that the royal family is under the law, and not above it, therefore it will be easier for the country to accept matters of taxes and subsidies. It might also be a power grab on the part of the Crown Prince, who is the heir apparent to the throne. But it is a good thing, so I don't know what to think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder to what extent he could be in danger of attempted attacks on his life. Not everyone will be accepting of his ideas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean King, Chancellor, Prime Minister or President... regardless of what system you use, Politics is still politics... even the best leaders sometimes have some alterior motives Regardless tho, I like the changes hes been doing since he was brought into power Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
