Nepe jyu Point well made, although your definition of "supporters" might not be all inclusive. However, if you insist on a calculated risk, then you also have to juxtapose the Good and the Evil that will come out of King's dethronement. We all know where the country was and where it was heading before the royal take over. Would you rather want to be called a "Free and Democractic, constitutional monarchy" country and suffer all the wraths of Maoists and Govt Servants alike, or would you rather give hope a chance? IFF King G abuses his power to a limit (he is already doing it, I have to admit) and make lives of Nepalese a hell, then that would be worse case scenario. But ponder upon what we had initially...we were witnessing the worst case scenario in the Nepal with incompetent leaders and murderous Maoists. I don't support this prolonged ban of Press freedom & communication, but I do hope it will be eliminated soon. Did we really have Press Freedom in Nepal? Either from Govt. side or (mostly) from Maoist side, Press freedom had as much weight in Nepal as the weight of the rope the Maoists were hanging reporters with. Bottom line is We were in darkness before. We have a hope for light now, let's not block it to create shadow of doom.
