Nepali Congress, CPN (UML), CPN (MC)The politics of Nepal since the abolition of monarchy has been dominated by the Nepali Congress, the Communist Party of Nepal United Marxist Leninist (CPN UML), and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre). While the Nepali Congress espouses democratic socialism, the CPN (UML) and the CPN (MC) follow the principle of People's Multi-party Democracy. The two major communist parties and many other smaller communist parties follow the policies of Marxism-Leninism and Scientific Socialism. After the monarchy was abolished in 2008, the Communist Party of Nepal faction controlled by the former rebels took power. Since then, there have been 15 changes in government, and the power has circulated among the CPN (UML), CPN (MC), and the Nepali Congress.
