This is what is going on in Pakistan...a private limited company.
Head leads the party, little bro is 2nd in command, wife and daughter run women wing, son runs youth campaign, another son runs election campaign, brother in laws and nephews are MNAs and MPA, in short, the family is running a so called democratic party!
Good point.
Sorry to distract the thread from "Arab-specific politics"
Political system as practiced in the Subcontinent since 1895 is in fact
--- malformed Indianized British political system.
While the original British system is organized and disciplined.
British-Indian political system has been a disorganized hodge podge of kingdoms, and jagirs and fiefdoms also called "political parties".
British system constantly brings in new leaders and fresh blood.
British-Indian system has leaders for life (Sonya, Haseena, Shareefs, Altaf mota chor, son-and-son-and-son of Wali khan),
And the only fresh blood is the blood of Nehru Clan, Mujib clan, Bhutto clan, Wali khan clan,
-- Every other clan and every other fresh blood be damned.
British paliamentry system is like forming queue before boarding bus, train, or plane.
British-Indian poltiical system is disorderly monkey/chimp attack on the bus, train, and plane, where people are pusing, shoving into the bus, and then jump on top of the bus and train like bunch of monkeys and chimps. They would be doing the same to the planes but the physics and rules of natures destroy that fun.
And sadly,
118 years later, we are still following malformed Indianized British political system, with no desire to correct it, and make it more like British or American system.
That the parties are no longer jagirs and fiefdoms of one clan or the other
That new blood is constantly infused that is based on merit and not family line.
