"There is no electoral system." - Er, they have municipal elections.
The following sentence is a non sequiter:
- "To Western eyes, the Qatari authorities seem to keep a relatively tight rein on freedom of expression and moves for equality; but when compared to neighbors like Saudi Arabia, Qatar boasts one of the best standards-of-living and quality-of-life in its region."
Freedom of expression and equality are not the same as standard of living. One can have running water and a nice TV but still be prevented from expressing political views. Are Qataris really freer than Saudi Arabians or just richer? Someone who knows more should clarify the sentence. 142.167.164.146 18:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
