2) The potential reaction of the people when an autocratic state decides to reduce, stop, or simply not increase its payments and subsidies ...
3) Once liberalization begins- as in the case with Kuwait's powerful parliament, which has proven to be highly critical of the ruling Sabah family- it is very difficult to reverse. The people indelibly begin to demand more.
