Democracy in Kuwait

The Emir of Kuwait has a warning:

The Emir, Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah has issued a stern warning to candidates for the June 29 elections not to criticise the government, vowing he will not allow anyone to 'sabotage' Kuwaiti democracy.

"The warning came in a statement read by state minister for cabinet affairs Mohammad Sharar."

I think it's safe to say Kuwait's new ruler is not wholeheartedly behind democratization in his country.
