Sweden’s Prime Minster is a such stable person at crisis situations. It was more important to fix is tie. And then the Irony that Sweden’s new Health Minister collapsed in her first press conference as minister. This is how I see Sweden’s government: as a big fat disaster. :facepalm:

What`s political option is it?

Αrent 3rd party in votes as i see in Wikipedia?? Nepali congress and communist party unified (ML) are the biggest parties

CPN (UML) is ideologically very close to CPN (MC). They were seen as overground front of Maoist during civil war and were in alliance with Prachanda for quite some time. And since the end of civil war, apart from couple of years, PM has been from these 2 parties only.

And has sadly died.  Urge anyone to watch his videos on YT - he regularly debated & won using polite language & classical rules of rhetoric.  So naturally the Left hated him.

Political murders are always bad, the Democrats being killed earlier this year, this, it's all bad.

 

Don't need to feel too bad though, a certain Charlie Kirk said empathy is just a made-up 'New Age' term, so we certainly shouldn't have it now, I guess.

I can’t abide all the Christians/Muslims/Jews who cite a book to want people to be unhappy.  I’ve had enough of it growing up. 

Also the kind of person who was so utterly fanatic in his religious views, he said he'd let his own 10-year old daughter carry a baby to the end if she'd end up pregnant from abuse. That's horrifying shit.

 

Obviously it doesn't justify killing anyone (before people say stuff like "oh, so it's ok to shoot him then?"), but besides doing lots of debating (which in itself is certainly a good thing), he has said plenty of awful stuff.

Exactly, I don't have any difficulty reconciling that Charlie Kirk was a bad person in life and that his assassination was horrific and unjust. I just don't think we should start lying to make people look more palatable once they die.
