democracy in Bhutan

I have been reading in newspapers and net that king wants to kick start democracy in Bhutan.
People are (& have been) happy with the way the king has ruled all these years. now he has set up dummy elections.
All the problems, shortcomings will start now... creating misunderstanding between various groups, corruption etc etc.
My view is that for a small countries with underdeveloped economies democracy can be very bad indeed.
Another bad move is allowing commercial TV from India and western soaps
My feeling is that country is heading slowly towards disaster
