Talking politics with Kuwaitis is always interesting. Invariably they have much to say and do not hold back in expressing their views.
The past week has been no exception as the government once again resigned and parliament was dissolved for the second time in a year. There were grumbles about parliamentarians; gripes about a lack of leadership and the weakness of the government; and speculation about rifts within the ruling family.
The analysis is often punctuated with sighs of frustration and chuckles – bitter-sweet laughs which reveal a dose of gallows humour. The cabinet has resigned five times in the last three years and Kuwaitis will vote in their second election in a year within the next two months.
