Why Electoral Reform Alone Won’t Fix Nepal

As Nepal approaches its next political crossroad, the national discourse remains obsessed with the "Machine”, i.e., the electoral system. Activists argue that moving from First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) to Full Proportional Representation (PR) will magically "reduce election spending." But as an Industrial Engineer, I see this as a classic error in systems design: you are trying to fix a defective product by simply changing its packaging.
