The arithmetic makes a NC-Maoist, and a UML-Maoist government possible, not to say a NC-UML government. And the identity federalists might have dipped below the one third mark. That might bring forth some interesting tug of war on the federalism question. The Panche parties have done so much better than the Madhesi parties. Go figure.

The Madhesi parties have but one option: become one party or perish.

The Fourth Pole

This is the fourth pole of Nepali politics. Do not underestimate it. It might not produce a Prime Minister right away, but it will likely produce more than one Chief Minister.

If the new Janajati Party, I believe likely to be called the Federal Socialist Party, joins this alliance, it could emerge the second biggest pole in the country's politics.
