Abstract
Fiji’s new parliament that emerged in 2014 after eight years
of military rule revived the prospects for parliamentary
democracy in that country. However, concerns have been
raised about the suspension of Opposition members of
parliament (MPs). These suspensions highlight broader issues
regarding executive–legislative relations in Fiji’s parliament and
the prospects of a robust parliamentary democracy in Fiji. This
In Brief examines the MP suspensions, highlights some of the
concerns that have been raised both in Fiji and abroad and
considers some implications.
