Constitution, smonstitution. That’s the problem with Westerners…always hung up on technicalities. If Gulnara were in charge, Uzbekistan would have the world’s largest fashion show.

I know this is awful, but I’m half-hoping that Karimov puts Gulnara in charge… only because I’m just so curious to see what would happen.

Well, yeah, of course. But…

The government seems all into making constitutional and legal changes that it can spin as increasing democracy. Amending the constitution and running another entirely unfair election would perhaps draw more than having a referendum or parliamentary vote extending the term. I think odds are probably even that he just gets an extension to the term.

“The real question is whether or not he will serve a third (or fourth, depending on how one counts them) term.”
