Having read few posts by both Ambroisa and Rahulvai, I will try to give them both the benefit of doubt.

First of all, Rahulvai's post was in rebuttal to the insensitive nature of the post, I think. Humor is good, but it also should put forth the facts otherwise it is just a mockery.

However, Ambroisa's piece was not a serious political commentary and I think she indicated that from the get-go. I am pretty sure she is aware of the Koirala family relationships and that point shouldn't be taken too seriously. As for the sickness, sure a little crude humor but I think it still was a humor piece. There also is some truth to it. Leader's health is also important and for a poor country like ours, can we really afford to send our leaders on a month long hiatus bearing all the cost in one of the most expensive place? Sushil Koirala's case was special as they discovered cancer after he was appointed; but parties have to think about the health condition of the leaders too while making decision for the leadership IMO.

I also agree with Rahulvai's point about taxation; we take everything for granted in Nepal without paying any due. True, but we also have the right to hold the leaders accountable for things they have done. They were voted to serve the people, not their manifest.
