A change from Nepal

Finally, Nepal has become the world's newest republic after a majority of constituent assembly has voted to abolish the 240-year-old monarchy. A brief news is here.

What does this situation tells us?

It depends on how the rulers rule their countries, no matter what kind of regimes there are. The country would still be, more or less, stable as long as the people are happy i.e. having money in thier pockets.

This leads me to think that: At the end of the day, is the rightest regime really a regime, or a management of people's selfishness? Do people actually need any kind of regime or they just want the ruler to make them prosper?

I think it is too extreme. Because if everyone's selfish, how can we instill a sense of public responsibility to the people?

What does it take to make a change?

The ruler, or the people?
