Logical reasons for ousting king

Saroj, 1. Legacy of colonialism : Most nepali politicians still crave this attribute I already mentioned that political parties are trying to follow the same path. What we should not forget is that transparency of it. We will at least be able to know what is going on without the censorship of media and opposition parties. If people protest strongly, they've to step down. But yea, at the beginning as it has showed, they'll do the same. 2. Unequal distribution of wealth : Politicians have been amassing plenty of wealth True, but we need to have strong agencies like CIAA, who can challenge them later on. I just have a hope that they will get punished later. But it's never ever going to be possible with king and royals. 3. Absence of democracy: There can be many examples of this Be specific. I didn't get what you're trying to say. 4. Unequal laws and privelidges: There can be many examples of unequality and priviledges Don't just try to get away by telling many. Give some examples then. 5. Centralisation: Not much is different now The process has started. It's not going to happen that quick. With king in power, people's voices are always going to be suppressed. 6. Equal representation: Till date this is still a problem Again the process has started. The constitution can be amended when people from minority groups start opposing it. We never heard of such things in 200 years of monarchy system. Is the current Government be any different? Or is the situation going to worsen? Situation may seem worse at the beginning, and the government may behave same. But with the people with the rights to decide, in the presence of strong opposition parties, in awake of media, and people being aware of the facts going on in the government, the situation will and must change. It is the system. IMI, why do u've to call me stupid. If you can, use your logic instead of blaming me. You talk about blame game and revenge, and you do the same. I consider myself as neutral to any other political parties, but biased against the king. So you consider only those people as productive supporting the king. Prachanda and anyoneelse has to go through the election every five years. The beauty of democratic system is that people has the right to chose it. Maoists have been weakened after terai system, and I want them to get defeated in the election, I don't need the god of Vishnu's Avatar to save from him. I want to save by myself. In the current scenario, maoists are going to be defeated at least from the valley and terai. Political parties are incapable and corrupted at the moment. But it's the system and I believe it will get better in the future. But one thing I know king is never ever going to be better. It is only going to lead us to darkness. I'm not excited about bringing communism in Nepal. I don't want another dictator to replace the current one. If I've only two choices: communism and monarchy, I'd rather go with monarchy. But I've more options than that. Royalists are trying to scare by showing these options, which is obviously not true. Dude, please be logical again.
