New date

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
..................................................................................................................

The fifth round of elections for the post of prime minister has been scheduled for 23 August at 3 pm. The date was decided by the Business Advisory Committee of parliament. A meeting of party whips on Tuesday agreed to postpone the election till next week.

The UCPN (Maoist) proposed deferring parliamentary voting, scheduled for Wednesday, as a mark of respect for deceased CA member Ram Kumari Yadav. Parliament passed a condolence resolution and observed one minute of silence to pay tribute to Yadav. Parliament was then adjourned, as it is customary in parliamentary practice to not enter into regular business after passing a condolence resolution.

It is expected that the parties will use the time before the fifth election to build an environment for political consensus. Both candidates, UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and NC Vice President Ram Chandra Poudel, have failed to secure a simple majority in the past four rounds of voting to lead the new government.

    On Jestha 14th ,the Three Parties NC, UML and UCPN(Maoist) agreed on 3 points.

    Points 2 and 3 have been implemented already. Find out because of whom point 1 is not carried out. That party is the pain in the arse of the country and its people.
    A defaulter is a defaulter is a defaulter. (apology to Gertrude Stein).
    Once a defaulter always a defaulter.
    Its high time to know who are the flowers and who are the weeds by now.
    Try for a Nepali Jirga in the Tundikhel for the last time.
    Failing that , either a star will be born or a progeny of Polpot or a Hitler or a Jung Bahadur will emerge,if we have little luck.
    It is not the failure of parliamentary system ,but our failure in the last election of trying new faces.A Change for a change sake.Any system will fail if the leading persons are bad. Even a bad system can give good result if the people leading are good. That is the lesson from history.Better
    desolve the house, go for fresh election. Vote for educated youth and not for these good for nothings.,Banderko puchher lourona hatiyars. Kukurko puchhar bahra barsa samma dhungroma rakhepani bangoko bangai.

    Nepali ho, now is the time for fresh fields and new pastures. Will you now write off these discredited sobs …?
