The relentless cycle of politics as usual

Everyone needs downtime, but a country facing multiple crises can scarcely afford a head of government who tunes out every evening.

It has been nearly a year since the Gen Z movement, and seems like we are back to square one. And it is not only the return of Sher Bahadur Deuba or KP Sharma Oli’s steadfast refusal to brook any dissent in the CPN–UML that is responsible for this sense of déjà vu. Look around you—much of it looks and also feels the same.
