Scoop's New Zealand's co-editor Selwyn Manning was in Tonga this week attending a state funeral for the late King Tupou. He reports that Tonga's people now want change, and shortly after attending the solemn occasion, NZ's PM Helen Clark said New Zealand will, should Tonga wish it to, do all it can to help Tonga reform its constitutional monarchy toward a more democratic style of government

  • You Can't Changee Tonga You idiot!!. It's good the way it is. We don't want to make it one of those developed countries. It''s great thoough you guys think it's corrupt Tonga is great the way it is. And the people like it that way.

  • Tonga should stay like the Kingdom of Thailand. King Bhumibol Adulyadej of

    Thailand is still alive and standing firmly in the path of World Bankers and their

    hijackers and destroyers of nations called the "New World Order".

    These old kings keep their nations and cultures STRONG!

    Fight those who would steal and ruin your native land and beautiful culture in

    the name of some "false democracy" that may only result in Tonga owing

    everything to the criminal World Bank! Blessings to Tonga!
