maddy, ur question on threat and violence doesn't really make sense. Maoist's the only party who brought this CA election and they are saying they can change country. Well, they are getting their oppurtunity. If there were incidence of booth capture, EC has been duly notified and they are gonna decide whether repolling is a option or not. NC and UML have strong enough base to notify EC to complain about Booth capture incident. NC & UML won't let those incidents just disappear. If there was threat and voilence, people in valley wouldn't vote for Maoist. Maoist are getting popular vote. Just get yourself ready for change and change mentality.
There are other things to consider too, it's not a election to elect government or people's representative. It's election to write constitution. It's a duly reminder for UML & NC. They still have 2 more years for general election, NC & UML have their chance to change their image in front of people.
The thing that's most interesting about this election's Maoist has come out as a force to reckon with. With proportion system, NC,UML & Maoist are all gonna get some representatives. Next two year would be acid test for em.
