Could it be ... ( 9 months ago by Inkan1969)
Could it be possible to keep the monarchy as a figurehead monarchy, with the king/queen as a cultural representive but having no power at all? I'm thinking the Emperor of Japan as a model. Have one of Gyendra's grandchildren take the throne, and have the congress maintain strict control over the monarchy budget. Then couldn't the monarchy maintain the continuity of Nepalese culture, while never being a threat to democracy?

I know it gets dismissed as (not investigated) ancient tradition, which it certainly is, but the golden snakes statuette behind the head of the monarchy is much more immediately symbolic, and I would go so far as to assert that he likely is not human POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

I am a monarchist. ... ( 7 months ago by bbenjoe)
I am a monarchist. But I prefer the constitunional monarchies. If a king takes over and becomes a dictator he must be stopped. In the case of Nepal after these events, King Gyanendra must be deposed. Basically I think, that the monarchy itself should be kept, but who should be elected as king? The crownprince has a controversial life, and his son is still a child... Monarchy or not, I hope the Nepaleese people will see the rising sun -smiling on a new, democratic Nepal.

Dipendra was a moron. I hate him for everything he did. He could have just went into the bushes and shot himself. But nooo............ That moron had to go and kill his entire family. I hope the souls of the royal family (with the exception of dipendra) will rest in peace. I hope dipendra is gone to hell.
