<p style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666">This paper examines the long history of the idea of a government of national unity in the framework of the transition process from Indonesian rule to
independence and democracy: a long and winding history of important consequences for the way in which the country has evolved over the last fifteen years. It then assesses the pros and cons of the current situation, calling special attention to the fact that
political inclusion must be regarded in the framework of political institutions taken as a whole, rather than in every single one of them. The novel situation offers hope for broad consensus, but also raises doubts as to the role of the different institutions
- namely the role of Parliament - in representing the ensemble of the Timorese citizenry and their wealth of opinions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
