The next time someone tells you the youth aren’t engaged enough in politics, just point them to Nepal.
According to multiple reports, the youth of the South Asian nation managed to oust the existing government following an attempted ban of major social media platforms and took to Discord to hold an impromptu convention to elect an interim prime minister.
The organizing appears to have worked. On Friday, the military accepted the recommendation of the protest group and named Karki the interim prime minister. Karki, who accepted the role, is expected to pick a new cabinet and eventually hold elections. According to the Times, that is expected to happen within the next six months or so.
They imposed term limits on comfortable politicians.
It’s one of the best things you can do to combat corruption.
Idk the term limits will help or hurt here. Being limited our lawmakers would sell out all the harder to set themselves up in their last term. It makes sense for executive positions because they can cement themselves in power.
I believe the answer is to organize and find and groom our own candidates that can win. Ones that will acknowledge and address the actual sources of our problems, which would be massively popular with voters you better believe it.
