Nepal votes to abolish monarchy

The Himalayan nation of Nepal has become the world's newest republic, ending 240 years of monarchy. A constituent assembly meeting in the capital, Kathmandu, overwhelmingly voted to abolish royal rule.

All I can say is good for them, I wonder how long it will take for the people in this country to wake up to the fact that no one should be in a constitutional position by birth right.
