It is not a bad idea to unite.

They should unite for unity not for disintegration. Nepalese communists disintegrate more than they unite. But they never get tired of talking about unity. Where is the unity of Narayan Kaji Shrestha's party with Moaists, where is the unity of Amik Sherchan's party with Maoists? How much exercise they have to do to merge into Maoists if they really want it? It's been years since they started talking about merging.

Let UML go along in the present status. They will not gain anything out of the unity with Moaists. 

No offense to elusivecat (who created this thread) though. This is the reality of the ground.
