The plot thickens

The way they have taken the fight to the provinces is an affront to political culture.

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli couldn't be more honest about his intent to jeopardise the political system if it is not to his liking when he said, last week, that if he were to be cornered more, he would use his hatchet skills on the provinces as well. The dissolution of Parliament on Sunday, December 20, Oli hinted, was just a dress rehearsal, and that the full show of political brinkmanship was yet to come.
