Public data from government should be made available in consumable, ingest-able format for both humans and machine. In English too. This idea of attaching/embedding pdfs into website should STOP.
It may appear to some as harmless banter, but there is a standard of conduct expected from an elected Member of Parliament. As my representative, I find it concerning when an elected MP uses gestures, laughter, manner of speech, or even applause in a way that appears to ridicule a fellow member. Such behavior undermines the dignity of the office and the institution as a whole.
I hope that the orientation provided to new MPs by the RSP instill a stronger sense of decorum and responsibility. Conduct in public places should reflect maturity, restraint, and respect. @SwarnimWagle@hamrorabi
हेर सांसद भनाउदाको पारा ? रिमालाई उडाएको ? पूरा भिडियो भेटिएन तर अन्तमा रिमा विश्वकर्माले केही आपत्ति जनाएको भन्ने लाग्छ । अझ पानी छरपस्ट बोतल हेर्नुस त छि छि छि कलेजको कान्टिनमा जस्तो व्यजोरा देखाएछन । यिनीहरूलाई न पदीय मर्यादा थाहा छ, न जिम्मेवारी ??
The ones who reject their MP salary and benefits won’t stay clean for long. Popularity has a cost, and they’ll end up chasing bigger, quieter ways to cash in.
Take what the system provides and operate within it. That’s how you avoid worse compromises.
Startups celebrate disruption.
But the real test comes after the hype.
Now RSP has to prove it can do something harder than winning an election:
actually govern. 9/9
What you should learn from RSP as a tech bro, a thread.
The rise of Rastriya Swatantra Party should look very familiar to anyone in tech.
It’s basically a startup disrupting a legacy industry.
Nepali politics just had its Uber moment. 1/9
Every election reflects the dominant media of its time.
Radio era → monarchy politics
TV era → party strongmen
Social media era → outsider movements
RSP is the first Nepali party native to the algorithm age. 7/9
Here’s the uncomfortable truth for tech people:
Disruption is easy.
Running the system is hard.
Winning attention is step one.
Governance is step ten. 8/9
