        In the example of Papua New Guinea, there were major dissatisfactions with money’s role in politics, and LPV was granted as a concession. Had it not been conceded, the system stood risk of destabilization.

        Major beneficial changes do not occur because people agree they are good. Major changes do not occur because the public asks nicely. Major changes occur when the ruling class recognizes the risk to their power if they do not bend, lest they break.
