Seems par for the course we're on.  Not good, but is anyone shocked, flabbergasted or expecting strong communication and transparent leadership?

Well, I certainly understand how political machinations, election rigamaroll, and then  new government upheavals, would be a major distraction to a coronation that should take precedence above all else.

 

Don't make this political he says, but this could certainly play as another cling to political power, this time invoking the unassailable higher institution. 

 

I don't suppose the Junta has any direct involvement in determining when the big event will be held.   I can imagine the PM saying, "We are not in charge of that, I don't know when it will be, so stop asking me about it!"  Wow, that's brilliant, he could milk this one for quite a while.
