Do you want Development or Democracy?

C'mon, make up your mind... fast.

Why do they have to be mutually exclusive, you ask?  In ideal world, they don't need to.  Like in the US or most of the developed nations, they go hand in hand.  But you and I know, in Nepal's context, that ain't true.  

So, if you are like me and say Development is what we need, then enough of this Democracy crap.

We've been playing this game of Democracy for last 20 years and look what it got us.  Big goose egg.  Heck, egg would've been nice, but we don't even got an egg.  Last 20 years has pushed us back 40 years.

Outside of Africa, Nepal is the least developed and most corrupt nation.

What we need now is Dictatorship.  Yeah, you heard me.

We need someone, hopefully benevolent but with iron fist and butt-load of brains, to have absolute power.  Only that person, like Lee Kwan Yew of Singapore, can turn the country around.

Fast forward 20 years: China will be the #1 superpower in the world with the highest GDP surpassing the USA.  India will be in G7 (most likely bumping Italy off).  With the way things are, Nepal will still be the sewer drain in the middle with rats and maggots fighting for supremacy in the wretched filth.

So, yes, something needs to be done to get Nepal out of quagmire.  It ain't gonna happen with Democracy as you can see, just look around.  Heck, forget about development, Democratic Nepal can't even pull itself together to choose a Prime Minister.  

So, do you still have faith in Democracy?  Seriously, do you?
