Is A Consensus Government Possible?

VP Jha For Consensus Govt NepalNews

I know it is desirable, but is it possible? Or is it even desirable?

Prachanda broke the consensus environment by taking a unilateral decision to sack the army chief. And instead of repenting, instead of saying sorry I messed up, he is running up and down the street to say he was right after all.

Maybe the army chief should be sacked. That's not the point. But he totally ignored his coalition partners and went ahead and declared that he has decided to sack the army chief.

Unless he admits to that mistake, how is consensus possible?

22 of the 24 parties in parliament have rallied behind Madhav Nepal. Now it it too late to form a 24 party government. Now the Maoists have to show they are capable of sitting in the opposition.
