My observation: Maoists will have about (40%) of the total seats in CA (maximum of 45%) which means they are not even in simple majority. They needed 2/3rd to make the constitution as per their wish. I am in the conclusion that Nepali Janta voted very nicely (they voted for change but not in a monopolistic manner)

In fact, Maoists are in very difficult situation now. I see the following reasons behind that:

1. Oppositions: All oppositions are against them (Except Giriraj Mani Pokharel)

2. Experiences: They should lead the government but most of them are new faces and will have a lot of problems in office. By the time they get experience, Nepali janta may withdraw their support and choose another in the next election.

3. Implementation of Agendas: they cannot implement their agendas (due to both domestic and international factors) and some of the agendas are not practical in a short-run (See the first 9 points in popular 40-point demand under nationalism heading).

It would have been better for Maoists to be in less responsible roles after CA election (but enough roles to make their agendas included in the constitution similar to present government) and to have success in the next election under the new constitution. I wonder whether they keep the present popularity till next election in a politically vulnerable country like Nepal.
