Next Election

[HAIDER]

Today during Congressional session in US, top US official expected next Pakistan election will be within two years. GEO NEWS.

 

[Awesome]

This is news?

Only at Geo.

The US has been saying all kinds of things and there's a strongly possibility of all this, everyone's expecting it.

 

[HAIDER]

So, the approval already comes from US. Next few months are crucial.

Idont think that this will necessarily be a wrong thing for Pakistan. The problem with Zardari seems to be that he can not/does not want to run the Government while still dictating to The DUD PM Gilani.This makes theGovernment look rudderless and we need a strong leader. If things continue to go this waty it may well be that we see something like this more sooner.

Position will be clear when Zaradari shoot out from reconciliation circle of Nawaz and Co. Otherwise both big parties are playing cat and mouse game. Nawaz desperately wants to come back in parliament and Zaradari dont't want him. Because then Nawaz will try impose more personal reforms, which will hurt the interest of PPP and Mushi. As far as judiciary issue, it already went to gutter. PPP Lawyers already presented reformed agreement to legitimize all previous judiciary issues.
And it paves the way for next election.

But how does one constitutionally hold elections, if Zardari actually manges to pass his package taking away the powers from Musharraf to dismiss parliament?

The PPP coalition is not dependent upon the PML-N to stay in power, who will leave them?

Even if he does not manage take the power to dissolve parliament away, and the coalition loses enough partners to justify a new election, what will the result of the election be?

The last polls done in Pakistan by international organizations indicate that Nawaz enjoys an 80 plus percent popularity rating, with the PML-N poised to win handily. If these trends continue or maintain, what advantage does having a PML-N government bring us?

Given Nawaz's animosity towards the government, and his Islamist bent, nothing new can be expected in FATA, and expect the clash between the Presidency and Government to continue, with Nawaz focusing on cutting the Army and Musharraf down to size.

Once Nawaz fails as well, the PPP will be once again making the argument that it was never given a complete chance to fix the country, having its government arbitrarily dismissed by the "dictator Musharraf, and people will probably return another coalition government led by the PPP to power - if all of this isn't interspersed with military coups.

I honestly fail to see why Musharf would dismiss the current GoP, or act to undermine it - especially when the GoP has pretty much handed over FATA policy, and related foreign policy, to the Army and the Presidency on a platter. I see no change with early elections, no stability (rather more instability as Pakistan sees another civilian government dumped before its time). Musharraf would be an utter fool to try and remove this government.

But nodoubt on other side of coin, PPP still can survive in parliament without the vote of Nawaz. But if Nawaz sit in opposition, then next election will be for sure in favor of Nawaz. But that favor only will be in Punjab. Beside the point i think whatever PML(N) has seat now, that same number of little less or little more they will gain in next election. Not big impact. Still need to make coalition govt.
This issue has thousand outcomes......lolz

Very true - but what is almost certain is that the outcome of any free and fair early election will result in the same players with the same excuses (dictators/establishment disrupted democracy) returning to power.

Therefore I see absolutely no advantage in early elections.

Thanx God I have got rid off this enemy of state channel from my house so no GEO news no worries.

We have bad habit of looking back and accusation on previous govt. Both habit are good if use in learning process and correct mistake. If its part of winning party agenda then this is big failure.And thats what going on.
I think we need poll rigging, to create marginal dominancy of single party, so they can work.

Same here. I just got PTV. I mean at least watching PTV doesn't make your blood boil and besides, we Pakistanis have lived with PTV for the past 60 years only the previous five years the monopoly was lost.
