Hurray, you are right, Nepalese leaders so far have not showed any credibility. That is the reason why "nagrik samaj" and student unions are leading current fight with autocratic regime. The leaders are part of it, but we must be cautious about their move. I do not thing Girija, Makune or Deuba will let a chance to be PM get away. This is what King capitalized his whole move to loot the country on. Khaobadi, You are in party central level UML are no where near communist ideology, they are more like socialist parties, like green party in US or upto some extent like democrats. But root level leaders still have some communist ideology left, some of them also function as UML cadres in Day and maoist cadres in Night. If Maoist come to political process UML will be the biggest loser. They were thinking of changing the name, to make US happy about them. Cos few years back when they came to power, they could not run country well, bcos west were reluctant to support communist government. But I think they drop the idea becasue it will impact their vote banks badly, lower class and lower-middle class nepalese.
