Following a destroying disunity that almost wiped out the royalist party from the Cambodian political scene, the Funcinpec and the Nationalist parties, the remainders of the royalist disunity, are trying to reach out to one another to try to save the royalists’ popularity. Like the SRP and the HRP, experience from disunity shows that the result is defeat. However, trying to unite with each other is not an easy task.

As water is entering their noses, the bitterly fighting former brothers, the Funcinpec and the Nationalist parties, are reaching out to one another in order to try to save the situation.

The two parties, whose leaders came from the same womb, did learn their lessons from this disunity. This disunity led the royalist party to be kicked out from leadership and turned it into a minor party that tries to hang tight to the tail of the ruling CPP party. This bitter lesson awoke the two parties and they now shout out that only unity could save their dire situation.
