i believe too, that, a republic democratic state is the most stable of a system.... but like some Yogi .... said "in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice, there is". a republic democratic state runs well only when the society has high educational level, sound economy and the most PEACE. in a country like nepal where all three are lacking, it's very difficult for the republic-democratic system to last long... at least in the present context. i would give examples of Indonesia (of until some yrs back), African countries like Nigeria and Liberia as some examples. i personally think, nepal needs a stable head of state... so that however dynamic may the politics to get into singh darbar might be, we still have something stable, something not changing at the top......... well, the current 'Bishnu Awatar' or the one designed to be the next, might not be the right person though. if you need a new dynasty to rule, the Gaalab Dynasty is always ready to serve the Nepali people.
