Getting some feedback on other social media platforms. Responses to some of the comments are below:

So what do the manifestos of the political parties in Bhutan tell us?

In continuation to our (Tobden & Kencho Pelzom) research on voter pattern and behaviour in Bhutan, a word cloud of all the manifestos till the 2018 elections. Soliciting comments/feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

@DorjiWangchuk While the current research focuses on voter behaviour & patterns, we will be looking for connections in the manifestos to our socio-economic vars. So, hopefully we get lucky. Otherwise will look to an in-depth qualitative study to ascertain impact, etc.

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

A peek at our (Tobden and Kencho Pelzom) preliminary analysis of the three national elections held in Bhutan thus far. While our analysis is mostly quantitative, we will be complementing it with content analysis of the manifestos and the narratives following each election.

@SangayWk @lugyel A very thoughtful write-up on Bhutan's current economic stress and the way forward. Kudos to @lugyel. The Government happily locking up land & forest in the name of conservation has kept the country & people poor. Reframing the forest narrative is the call of the hour.

@9DashLine @lugyel Good summary of some of Bhutan's challenges @lugyel

I would add a couple of additional challenges - (1) lack of a national vision. No one knows what our story is. (2) conspicuous gap in credible political & economic leadership. Last few years have been disastrous. #Bhutan

Thanks so much to the editors, reviewers and editorial team at @RPR_Journal for giving us the space and platform to share our research!

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

Our (Michael & Dendup) paper out with @RPR_Journal and available as open access

A write-up of the paper by @msg123k is attached.

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

Amazed that this one Department has been at the forefront of Non-Western PA under the stewardship of @wjmd who has done so much to advance the knowledge of NWPA. It felt great to be "home" talking to the masters students about Bhutan, Oceania and Buddhist PA over the past week.

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

@shibaabrahman @DendupChophel Thanks Shibaab.

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

Really "happy" to see our paper find its home in this niche journal (Michael Givel + @DendupChophel)

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

Good to see this paper getting some visibility.

[Lhawang Ugyel @lugyel]

Just finished a quick (and last min) 5 min pre-recorded interview @abccanberra radio on World Happiness Day and Bhutan's Gross National Happiness policy. It should be airing at 4pm AEST today (Mon 20 Mar). Have a listen if you are interested in Bhutan or happiness-related stuff.
