That’s nice of him but i ‘don’t think Lyonpo was an anyway the reason why the party lost. There are so many other factors…Actually on the contarary I think he was one of the strengths (with his experience and popularity with the people he’s worked with) of the party. But anyways, i’ve no doubt that whatever lyonpo continues to do from hereon will be great and inspirational for rest of us. Good luck and god bless to lyonpo.

dear ol…one question….
dpt had campaigned in the last GE by warning people that if pdp is being elected bhutan would have a messy democracy…meaning that pdp would be a mere ruling party firmly under the control of yab….people were also warned by dpt that all the fertile land would be grab by yab and so on and so forth…even i was carried away by dpt’s campaign startegy and so i voted for dpt..but i dont regret cos i still feel there is a probability….so what do you say….

Lyonpo SN for BCCI President. What do you say? I think it is a realistic pursuit & will work well.

All that really matters is that democracy works for us. That, people’s rights are protected and that there is good corrupt free governance (by the government – both bureaucrats and politicians – as well as the civil society). My personal desire is for goodwill between the bureaucrats and politicians, rather than one winning over the other and almost controlling or even freezing it. Hope it never comes to this, but if it has to some extent, then it is indeed sad and disturbing for the country and its people. Not coming down to this level would actually give democracy in Bhutan a unique quality, I think.

a personal opinion-
the best politicians are those who do not make a career out of politics, but participate in governance to ensure that freedom and rights are protected. Not to take over other people’s work and do it for them, but to ensure that they are not stopped by anyone, and that their freedom and rights are not violated. So that after his term he can go back to his old job and be happy that he has ensured that he can do his thing in a safe, free and fair society.
That is a personal opinion, of course.
