Creativity for Ideal Constitution

Nepal is near to constitution assembly election-II. Political candidates are vigorously involving to attract voters. Most of the candidates have made baseless and barefaced promises that “We will implement new constitution within one year”.History clearly reveals major parties undecided dramatic meetings to divide and elect prime-minister, president, speaker etc. We know they will lost one year to build the “Sahamati” (consensus) on these matter.We are lucky enough if they will enter to constitutional agendas that were left on last CA within one year.  
Constitution is taken as the law of land, a framework of fundamental rules, living organism, a grand norm, the rule of recognition of the country. The constitution of USA is model of brevity (7000 words) which was implemented more than 200 years ago.The rigid constitution, efficient matured democratic governance system, economic prosperity and provision to unite every citizen of the world with secured environment makes US a global hegemony and considered as dreamland of people around the world.The visionary and critical thinking skills of American leaders of that time were really admirable.
Most of the Nepali are annoyed from activities of political parties and wants to get rid from it. Because of political instability problems such as brain drain, export of labor, economic downturn, negative effect on working cultural etc has occurred. We sovereign Nepali has governed under the flexible interim constitution which was amended more than ten times. We all Nepali are hopeful from the upcoming constitutional assembly. So that some of the major leaders must have to play creative role to provide ideal constitution for our country.Questions are:

Have all possible political systems already invented? 
Can anyone imagine something truly new?
How about at least few major improvements to our system as is currently exist?
 How to end the transition period?

These are the questions that must be analysed by creative leaders.Especially, major political leader who will elect for CA-II. If upcoming major leader use some creative skills and really committed to work for country by creating the consensus environment the solution is possible.This will convey positive and good message to Nepali people with optimism and hope.
Creativity is art of finding unexpected space in problem that seems totally stuck to everyone else. It’s the ability to think “Out of Box” while rests of us barely realize that we are in a box. Even issues that seems totally stuck in CA-I such as governance system, federalism and its model, lengthy process to elect PM, ministers, president etc also have unsuspected possibility.

What is obvious isn't always true, there are other possibilities what is really practical and start looking for them is important.The first step toward creative transformation is to change our very idea of a “problem”. Today “problem” has negative overtones. But creative leader need to think of problems as occasions for ongoing thinking, and have to welcome problems as opportunities to change the world.

It’s sure that CA-II will not free from problems but major leader must have to solve these problems through creative way. If one really wants to be “leader of the Nation” he must think sincerely about the future of Nepal and Nepali.
