The fact that MKN's government is weak is all too evident. But that is a derived fallacy of structuring a motley crue cabinet of more that 22 political parties. The main ideological line of this government is too fend off Maoist aggression and its pandering to countless disenfranchised Nepalis. All Nepalis in recent memory agree that the UML's  9 month regime in 1994 was the most progressive and visionary government that Nepal has seen in modern times. MKN as the DPM was one of the main architects of policies of that government.

Its very easy to point out MKN's failures to keep his ministers in check but the main onus for politics today is to thwart the Maoist's ill-intentions to capture the state and impose the draconian ways of Stalin and Mao. We all know how West Bengal has suffered through the hands of leftist ignoramuses, there's no space in  this world for another North Korea, even if that means Nepal will qualify for the World Cup oneday  :).

I support Pire's views that the MKN government has been steadfast under mounting Maoist pressure and has now exposed the venomous Prachanda, his brinkmanship and deceitful ways. There's no need for another political revolution in Nepal. An economic revolution, however is far overdue.

PS: Don't brand me as a UML apologist, I'm merely trying to make sense of Nepal's current political dynamics.
