Nepal is currently engaged in a Constituent Assembly election which is expected the abolish the monarchy and declare Nepal a republic (it already is a quasi-republic), it will also decide on key issues such as federalism for various ethnic groups in Nepal and it expected to shake up the old royalist order of politicians.

My question is simple, what party do you support, I have only put up the three main ones as their are like near 50 parties contesting the election.

I wouldn't presume to know what's right for the Nepalese, but I'd take the congressional option if I had to live under one of those myself, from the looks of it.

Picking between communists and socialists....I suppose I'd pick socialists but I'd rather not pick at all. What a terrible choice.

Hardly, NC is roughly social-democratic and centrist.

TOGA, TOGA, TOGA!

Picking between communists and socialists is like picking between a 10 pound weight and an 8 pound weight to get hit in the nuts with.

Congress: The Nepali Congress is a moderate socialist party, built up around the Koirala family. Has historically advocated constitutional monarchy for Nepal, but has recently accepted the idea of transforming Nepal into a republic. Between 2002 and 2007, Sher Bahadur Deuba led an important splinter-group, Nepali Congress (Democratic). On September 25, 2007 NC(D) and NC re-unified.
Communists: The Communist Party of Nepal was established in 1949. The party was splintered into a plethora of different factions during the 1960s and 1970s. In the early 1990s, two important unification processes took place, with the moderate sectors of the communist movement forming the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) whereas more radical sectors formed the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre). CPN(UML) became a major parliamentary force. CPN(UC) was divided in 1994, with one faction forming a group that would become the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). Today, in between CPN(UML) and CPN(Maoist) are various smaller communist groups, out of whom five have parliamentary representation.
Royalists: When multiparty politics began, elements of the previous regime formed the Rashtriya Prajatantra Party. The RPP became the third force in parliamentary politics during the 1990s, and an important partner in various governing coalitions, it was ridden by divisions. Presently the main RPP and one splinter-group, Rashtriya Janashakti Party are represented in the parliament.

It stands.
