Consensus politics
The Kathmandu Post
24 November 2009
It was encouraging to read you news report on the political parties coming together (“Taskforce to amend resolution motion” Nov.19, Page 1). Unless the at political parties realize the core values of core values of the consensus politics in the present context of transitional phase, their political existence in the days ahead will be questionable.
It is very urgent for the new task force as one without biasness and come up with an acceptable resolution motion in the House. Otherwise, the political deadlock will continue, in due course tarnishing the image of the Constitution Assembly (CA) and Parliamentary system.
Both the ruling and opposition parties, as responsible people’s representatives, should not miss this golden opportunity to strengthen the CA and the House. Time has come for them to seek a “win-win” formula to end for the current political crisis. They should not cause people loose hope and belief in the parliamentary system.
