My gut feeling about our future is this: Either Maoist will gradually become popular by rectifying their weaknesses and delivering things and eventually turning their rule into what we fear/crave a popular semi-authoritarian regime, or things will get worse, people’s faith in Nepali politicians will die completely and people will start to look at Sikkim and say-what the hell !

I don’t think ethnic parties will have the appeal and magic to keep the hope of people of better future alive.

Then I also don’t hope to see NC and UML revamped enough to win people’s faith and imagination back. As much as I can see, the likelihood of NC-UML to get revamped is far less than the likelihood of Maoist to, as I said, rectify it’s weaknesses and start delivering.

Had NC, UML and Maoist secured equal share of the power, the situation could have been more stable with more choices (variables), more equations and more complexities.

I can not decide which could have been better. Well I knew I would have chosen the triangular boat. But now that the people have spoken, I am not asking it anymore.

But who knows, Maoists might do just so so, NC-UML might revamp (or not) themselves and people might want to try one more experiment with a triangle next time.
