True, we are not very far from the point that maoist rule in Nepal.If SPA keeps doing whatever maoist says then that will be the case. First of All ,There should be no CA if it is not going to be fair. If maoist doesn't lay there arms before CA they won't lay there arms even after CA. Which real communist believed in Democractic rupublic so why would they be any exception. If UML supports maoist but then they diagree later then it is obviously end of UML. NC should be clear with thier stand as you said and should atleast try to work with UML against MAO . Otherwise it is obvious that we will be entering another phase of chaos and autocratic regime.
