Hark_Bahadur, you got that half-right. Good thing you came out and posted what you presumed unlike some who has malicious intention but pretends to be sanctimonious. Regarding your semi-correct assertion, you need to develop more critical thinking. Let's see how we can go about it. . . umm, how about writing an essay for your GMAT yet again? Post the contents here if you can score "7". :) Not that sajha is a holy abode or Hollywood, and you obviously "matter," but I had to dig in to archives to see if you ever existed before in sajha. Honestly! Now that I am in this politically charged discussion, where personal good-ol' "love" is obviously flowing amongst rationale arguments; let me be audacious enough to assert my belief. Although, circumstances permitting, democracy is self correcting mechanism, I stand firm on my understanding that, until and unless political parties reform themselves (which SHOULD AND MUST include, developing new leaders, or for that matter anyone with some creditability who has NOT been protagonist in innumerable ignominious actions, avariciously sucking our blood while shouting democracy and what not, and leaving us in the bottomless pit to reek), I can not see these parties representing general Nepalese population which nullifies their power to bring any change to the current stronghold of the monarch. Party reform MAY not be pre-requisite for democracy, yes, but it definitely has to be "significantly" unambiguous for a regular, unpaid, not-there-for-amusement everyday foot soldier to put his body in the line of fire. (IMO) --> Failing which, to imagine sovereignty that those inept politicians seek "in words" is whimsical at best. I mean, look at those cream of the pack so-called leaders. They are nothing but self-obsessed Narcissi, whose sole drive is their own self-interest. My personal opinion has always been this: "Those old farts, good for nothing, corrupt leaders MUST GO." There is nothing to discuss about it really. Period! Also, I am not at all convinced that Maoists gives a rat's ass about what these political leaders would say IF they can take over the center. They, the Maoists, would ostracize these good-for-nothing leeches once their interests are met. We shall see if and when the time comes.
