" His comment regarding the elections is dubious at best. Calling the handful of corrupt political parties as the "real representatives of the Nepali people" took me by surprise. Where did he learn that Girija and Makune are my only real represetatives?" - Here is something I don't get - why are Girija and Makune (and few-other "hot" names) are the only people mentioned when it comes to the parties. The parties represented me in multiple levels, goddammit. From the ward, ga.bi.sa. level onwards. No, whatever your agenda, you cannot restrict democracy to the political parties alone, and you cannot restrict the political parties to the few people on the top. I don't give a shit about girija. I despise him. But I voted for a Kangressi for my WODA representative, I voted from someone from UML for the municipality for themselves not for who their party leaders are...
