The one good piece of news from Kathmandu: the elections

 So after a long time, some good news from Kathmandu. The voters have thoroughly rejected candidates of all the mainstream political parties or their coalition, and voted for an independent, and otherwise unknown who used to be a rapper. Limited experience but they wanted to tell the parties how much they freakin' hate their guts they'd literally vote for somebody random. Now the parties are threatening to not let the mayor work at all, in effect daring the voters to put somebody else in power because if they do that nothing would ever get done, but the likely outcome of that would be, they're going to lose in all the local elections or national-level elections because the electorate does NOT like being threatened by its politicians, the immature manbabies who can't understand that people are not voting for them because they know they deserve better.

The electorate is getting smarter, wild things are ahead, one tiny sliver of silver lining in all of the darkest of clouds.
