Danger, I have no idea as to what they had in the dark room. It is worthless just to make the speculations. I don't believe major parties (basically UML and NC) will flip over their stand regarding monarchy. As a matter of fact, I don't think it is that much relavent to talk about monarcy too. The issue of monarchy is very trivial in the face of other burning issues. Next, Maoists are just the scarecrow. They could do better with the arms but not with the brains. But parties should work prudently to let them come in the mainstream and give them credit for the good things they did (eventhough it is just one out of hundreds).
