Back in April, the people of Nauru went to the polls in parliamentary elections. The elections had been called early in an effort to break a deadlock between government and opposition. However, every incumbent MP was re-elected, meaning the deadlock continued. The "new" parliament has barely been able to agree on a Speaker, let alone a President, and so after seven weeks it has been dissolved, with new elections to be held this weekend.
The worry is that the same Parliament will be re-elected for a second time. What happens then? Do Nauru's politicians accept the hand they have been dealt by the people, and try to find a way to make it work - or do they keep making people vote until they get it right?
