#1 It would be a tragedy to abolish the Monarchy in Nepal. The country would go downhill just like Pakistan or Afghanistan. It is hardly democratic not to ask the people what they think. A fair referendum would be a minimum requirement for such a far reaching decision.

#2 All part of the plan.

(1) Abolition of Monarchy
(2) Elections. Weak government rules for year
(3) Maoist takeover to save nation
(4) Mass executions of class-enemies
(5) People's Republic of Nepal created

It has happened before and will happen again...

#3 Yup. Have to get rid of the one institution that average people could rally around when the Maoists take charge. Hence the chip-chip-chip against the King and the monarchy.

#4 (5) People's Republic of Nepal created

You mean: Democratic Peoples Republic of Nepal.

#5 You have to admit that the Nepal monarchy isn't much to rally around. After the royal massacre on July 1, 2001, I'd be disgusted with them to, all politics aside.
