I agree about executables but PML-Q was strictly a Punjab based party and lacked leadership. Have you heard Chaudhry brothers speak? They mumble as if they've been mute for decades.

Ah yes, the virus which wasn't even lab made? How did the almighty USofA lead the global world order when it was time to invade Iraq and kill a million people? Was that guidance satisfactory?
