The link "Nepal HoR unanimously passed a proposal to hold constituent assembly elections" is SNAFU'd.

Man, these bourgeois parties sure are expert at snatching Defeat from the jaws of Victory... I guess it's no big deal for this wheeler-dealer PM to be sworn-in at the Palace -- symbolically shoring-up this undead monarchy -- since he's already cut every other crooked deal he could with them. Methinx he doth protest too much tho', by then objecting to the glaring, impudent presence of all the other symbols of the feudal order at his swearing-in.
Schmuck. Tool.

May the masses remove him and his ilk at the earliest opportunity. Like next week maybe. NOTHING must divert nepalis from their immediate task: the convening of a people's Constituent Assembly. Arms in hand.
