Avista, those things you bring up like Bill of Rights and Separation of powers sound great. However, even if you have a great system in place you still need quality personnel to run it effectively and efficiently. Who are going to be the leaders implementing such profound democratic ideas? Girija or Deuba? Baburam Bhattarai? If we rewrite the constitution and create a new one that is socially inclusive, we better hope that it works. If 10 years down the road we come back to the same crossroads, then the people by expereince will want to come back and rewrite the constitution again, because it was done before. What I am saying is that the political parties and the Maoists have no strategy whatsoever, and past failures in this case are very much indicative of future success. We need quality leaders and visionaries as much as we need a quality constitution.
