Parliamentary Model Not Working In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
June 26, 2012: in an interview posted on Zeenews.india.com today, political scientist and Prof. Lok Raj Baral has said that the parliamentary system of governance Is not working in Nepal; so, the country needs to adopt the American system of governance.
Nepal's past experiences in the parliamentary system have not been successful due to a variety of reasons including the trends of fragmentation of parties. As a result, political stability so crucial to the sustainable democratic development would always be elusive Prof. Baral has said according to the interview posted on the Zeenews.india.com. “I recommend for a stable but accountable executive for a fixed period as that of the United States. For India, Parliamentary model might have served the purpose but in the context of Nepal, it may not help the country. Recent developments have also testified this argument,” the website quotes Prof. Baral as saying.
