“It’s good that we have another election, I support the idea of a re-election so that we can really see where we are at, because in my opinion a lot of people were in favor of HRPP up until there were a few slight changes at the end of the election. What I think now is yes we should have a re-election and see where it actually leads us, I used to be in favor of HRPP but now I’m not so sure anymore so I want to vote again and see where it actually goes. I was happy with the previous results, but now that I’m not sure with what had happened, I trust that people may change their minds…now there will be more people in favor of changing the government I suppose.”

“We were convinced that this country was founded and dependent on God, but now I'm not quite sure if this was his plan as it seems that it could be far from what it should be. What we expected was when the independent chose a party that party would have won, that’s it. I think the reason why people are now skeptical is because HRPP added another female candidate from nowhere to all of a sudden make up the percentage of women representatives in Parliament. What I do believe is that this country is distinct because we were founded on God, and this Government isn’t doing what we’re founded on, they’re just doing whatever they want to do. So I expected FAST to win because the Independent MP joined. I think that it’s not right too that the decision to add the female MP was done at night, I do not understand that."

"Well I’m in God's favor and I do not believe in either party. Yet right now, things are just going into turmoil and things were not done accordingly."

"The decision depends on the country, we shall let them do whatever they want, but we can pray that this election and the previous one will be put in God’s hands. We shall let them be, whether they want to keep voting and voting that’s up to them. But for us I think that we can just pray and have faith that the almighty judge above will choose what is best for us, the outcome for us will be in God's favor. People are split both ways into those two parties, but what the Head of State could have done was not to listen to either party but to his own intuition because he is the Head of State. He shouldn’t be biased with his decisions, neither should he listen to what is being told to him about what should could or would happen, but to listen to what God would say."

Ioane Vito, 56, Lalovaea

"In my opinion it has come a point where things are just not good at the moment as so many things have changed. I am not sure what's happening now, whether we do another election or not, whether it be agreed upon or not, I just don’t think there's should be another election."

Fata Taalefili, 50, Afega

"I have a concern to raise and that is why is it that they did this (add another woman Member) at night? Everyone was sleeping when that happened. Shouldn’t they (Office of Electoral Commission and the Head of State) have gathered respectfully for the signing of this document? I just don’t understand that decision and why it had to happen the way it did."
