Part of the problem is that no one wants to compromise or negotiate in good faith. There is always some underhandedness going on amongst players. We may need a mediator to lead any negotiations. There is too much emotion and passion for anything to get done beyond finger pointing and name calling. The Maoist problem is that they don't respect any ideas outside of Maoism. They could be a great force for change and progress if they would calm down and stop going Taliban on everyone. We don't necessarily need new politicians but we do need a way to hold them accountable. Dissolving parliament is the wrong way to hold them accountable. We should be able to hold individual members accountable when they fail in their leadership positions. Holding elections should not be the responsibility of the politicians that seems like a huge conflict of interest. The King unfortunately is the only thing holding things together because our political system is so weak. He's a necessary evil for the moment. The protesters should hold rallies and not protests. Speak about what kind of Nepal we want to live in. Talk about the strength of the Nepali people and our ability to overcome all types of adversity including our present one. Write some cool rally songs so we can stand hand in hand and sway in unison.
