Although a democratic reform party has several seats in Tonga's parliament, it is still outnumbered by the nobility, which has a limiting influence on democratic reforms (Tonga, 2007). "

However, the focus will be on three key reasons for their migration through culture changes, current political status, migration, history, and revenue aspects. The Tongans culture stems from song, dance, gender roles, and respect. Yet, the government felt that the tradition is not lasting, or shall I say, not worthy of current political status. In other words, traditional values have to be transformed or blended..."
