Nepe Guru,

Don't you think this could be interpreted other way round too??

"Third, and the most important of all, this election was meant for Constituent Assembly and was aimed towards making as “hung” as possible. So what Maoist got is despite that tendency. In other words, had it been for electing the government (and no pressure for making it “hung”), Maoist would have secured much more votes. So we should assume that the actual votes for Maoist government is much more than the votes they got for Constituent Assembly."

Long time back in the thread started by Chana bro, I told that this election is just made to decide a power saring with a consensus. If the erstwhile assembly was to do the election for constitutional assembly, then this assembly is to make constitution and to do the real election for the next 4 or 5 yr term government, where I expect to have major changes for long term policies. So to expect any political parties to back off at this major junction where it has long term implification on them, their seat in parliament and their political power, is a politically callow statement. It does allude the hangover of some kind of trashy one party communist doctrine of maoist enthusiast.
(my concern was with ur one party govrn formation, rest i agree with u).

Hope Everything is fine with you.
