They fixed the elections so he couldn't two thirds majority. I remember watching the election results and the vote counter literally went offline when the PTI wins were flying in. His hands were tied. Without a majority its difficult.
He should have got a majority in 2013 too and they fixed those elections.
Sharifs and Zardaris are a cancer, they have reduced Pakistan to a 3rd world mess of a country and pajeets are their cheerleaders. Middle, upper and educated classes suffer whilst the poor are rounded up with a plate of biryani and told which box to tick in the voting booth and the corrupts bootlick these families in the hope of getting their crumbs.
I don't know when Pakistanis will wake up, each year the gap is widening between the developed nations and Pakistan. Its already a 50 year minimum job. But they can't begin this road to recovery unless they dismantle the Sharif and Zardari networks and remove them for politics forever.
Pakistanis still don't understand, how their establishment works.
If Pakistan establishment could not rig the 1970s elections in favor of thier own candidate, which literally cause their country to split into two..they certainly did not rig 2017 election.
Election rigging in Pakistan does not happen at the voting stage, like booth capturing or vote counting stage.
Election fixing by the 'Establishment' happens much earlier, so that the "right parties" come into power.
That happens with electables being transfered or coerced into or out of a certain party.
Opponents being knocked out of the election by banning them, putting them in jail or making them flee the country.
Media houses coerced into reporting in favor of a party and against the other party.
Or after the election, smaller parties( the parties loyal to the establishment ) are nudged into making an alliance with their favored party to form a coalition government.
So Pakistani establishment certainly did fix the 2017 elections, but it was in favor of Imran khan, and not against him, as they wanted 3rd front to challenge the monopoly of Sharif's and Zardari's in Pakistani politics.
Imran khan was completely fine with it, as long as he got to be the PM.
That is why, I say Imran khan is not a man of principles, and he will not bring about any revolution in Pakistan, that will oust its army, out of its politics.
Where as Pakistani establishment are devious but their objectives are very simple.
Whether directly or indirectly they want to be power all the time.
They want to be the king makers and want puppet regimes, who would not challenge them, for they think, they know, what is best for their country.
