Also, read this line carefully: "The King, however, will be allowed to stay in Narayanhiti Palace until the Constituent Assembly elections that is to decide the fate of monarchy, according to Prithvi Subba Gurung, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation." Now this sounds outrageous and dangerous. Why? Because the leaders are already predicting the election's outcome. If they already know the outcome, why go for it? Why not declare Nepal a republic right away and kick the King out? Like Plato said, "The tyranny of one has ended, the tranny of a hundred/collective has begun." (or somethng like this while commenting on Athenian democracy.) In waht could be termed as "Sautako rishle logne marne" thinking, we are giving the SPA+ Maoist leadership enermous power to decide on our behalf. Is this democracy? I don't know.
