so ne23pe, are u saying leftist parties are more democratic than NC? tara leftist parties haru dherai chan. eg, UML and maoists to name two. i don't really agree with the article that NC are less democratic and they are sharing power with the king. as far as i am concerned, any party that supresses the freedom of expressing ideas or beliefs, be it political or religious, is less "democratic." Many left parties these days are censoring those who support the king. yo ta democratic bhayenani. ideal democracy ma sabai idea lai field ma aaune mouka hunu paryo, be it ideas of collectivity or monarchy. then let the people decide. king got thrown out because he was seen to be too autocratic supressing other people and essentially their ideas. aaba now, if we end up using unfair means to supress other ideas that we don't agree and call our system democratic, tyo ali hypocritical bhayo. haina ra?
