<description><![CDATA[ It is time we moved from change is coming to change has happened. I strongly recommend to start with a small cabinet with a mix of veteran politicians, young politicians and technocrats. The scale can be extended after 6 months once the foundations are laid. A large cabinet will cause management nightmare and decisions will get obstructed. ]]></description>

<title>What the Polls are Telling Us (and What They are Not)</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Do not read these polls as a scoreboard. Read them as a map of the public&#039;s fears, confusion, and silent hopes. The party that understands what the polls are not saying -- the doubts of the undecided, the nuances in the responses on reform, expectations on law and order, corruption, employment will be the one that truly wins the mandate of Bangladesh. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Everything you wanted to know about the PEPS survey. A closer reading of the survey&#039;s findings unearths a treasure trove of information for the political parties and the general public. Too many commentators have only looked at the surface, hence they are missing the true insights. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If reforms are to pass, then all the political parties need to own them and feel that they have taken the lead and not that it was something forced upon them. Reforms the parties believe are imposed on them are destined to fail. ]]></description>
