Himal Survey Has A Republican Message
Himal Survey
The choice is between an unconstitutional monarchy and a republic. The Nepali people have made it very clear they will opt for a republic between the two. This monarch has made constitutional monarchy unimaginable.
75% of the people have been opposed to his direct rule since 2/1.
95% of the people say the situation in Nepal is bad/anarchic/frightening. The largest proportion of the people blame the king for the bad situation.
90% want dialogue as the legitimate political outlet.
85% are opposed to the idea of parliamentary elections.
75% are opposed to the idea of an unconstitutional monarchy.
Over 70% of those who have heard of the 12 point agreement think it is positive.
50% want outside parties to facilitate.
Only 20% think the 1990 constitution is okay.
Less than 20% votes in the municipal polls.
20% think the king's parlimentary elections are possible.
67% want the new constitution to be made through a constituent assembly.
67% think what we have right now is an absolute monarchy.
65% of the people are opposed to the idea that the parties have been sidelined by the king.
The survey says 50% of the people want a constitutional/ceremonial monarchy. Those are not people against the idea of a republic. They are people who are disapproving of the absolute monarchy we have in the country right now.
The Himal Survey is a clear indication the country is ready for a republic.
Movement Or Revolution
The difficulties and challenges of organizing a movement and getting people out into the streets can not be underestimated. But the king has really been trying the patience of the democrats. The movement has to turn into a revolution.
