O3: No to Elections!

English Flag
The reserve King of Nepal (in his own twisted view), Obstinate Octogenarian Ogre aka G.P. KOIRALA, the Supremo of Nepal Congress Party has shown his real colours - he, and of course, his lackeys, misnamed politicians, WILL NOT PARTICIPATE in forthcoming elections.
G. P. Koirala
Of course, the slick-tongued brahmin have come with explanations, about on the same level of the islamist- and jihad-apologets, why the elections are not APROPRIATE at this time. His level of dialectics is such, had he been in power, and wanted to go to polls, he would easily found words to support that thesis!
Unless this bitter old man is safely DEAD or in JAIL there is little hope of progress and democracy in the land.
I think some, if not full, reason for his fight to return to the coveted PM-chair is his knowledge that true democracy and full accounting will lead not only himself but large part of his immediate family and various sycophantic hangers-on to JAIL! (Remember the GSA case in the UK? The disapeared 757?)
There are numerous examples of polls beeing conducted during civil conflicts - among others in Algeria, Kosovo, most recently in Afgfhanistan (I don't count the shenanigans of PLO as democracy, neither their elections as democratic!)and comming in Iraq. Other reason for his obstinacy (after the fear of JAIL) is his realization that the Nepali people have at last saw through him and his "party" and he will be margenalized, sidelined, wiped out! From the sneers of my nepali family and friends when O3 appears on screen I gather his credibility is ZERO.
So it's more surprising that both the NTV and the more liberal Kantipur TV always roll out this tired horse and give hime airtime... As if O3 was relevant... Or democrat!
