In the 2022 elections, Nepali voters elected a highly non-representative 165 FPTP members of the House of Representative...or did they?
Of course, while data show that, the reasons or explanations are a little more involved.
So, how does one explain the warped results of the 2022 election for the 165 FPTP members of House of Representatives?
Some can be explianed by statistics.
Analysis of Nepal's 2022 Election data for the House of Representatives seem to indicate that Nepali voters prefer their politicians to be old Khas-arya men. How and is that really the case? This is the first in a series of blog post on the subject.
Nepali media is atrocious. Far from it being the fourth pillar of democracy, it panders to the those who are responsible for making the country a failed State. And that's only ONE of the many issues with them.
There's a very good reason for that. No different from those that make up the other three pillars of democracy and pretty much every other structure of any import, Nepali media is of, for, and by Khas-arya men. And that conclusion is based on data.
How a society uses information and knowledge depends a lot on the kind of society it is. An open and outward looking society uses information and knowledge to free their people, for example. A closed and inward-looking society, on the other hand, utilizes them to control their people. Nepal, being a closed and inward-looking society, expends a lot of effort into controlling their people, starting from when they are children.
This is a lesson on how to rule a country as a Khas-arya Nepali. In other words, "How to rule with arrogance, ignorance, incompetence, and insidiousness.”
