Now Benazir will return

[Awesome]

Just came to notice this.
PML- head in Soudi
PPP- head in west
MQM- head in london
PMLQ- no real head

With all the four major parties having no real head, Pakistan's parties are truly unnatural.

PML- N and PPP have interim heads.

MQM head is in London for no good reason (well he fears assassination).

PML-Q has Shujaat Hussain as the Party President.

MQM is not a mohajir party any more. Hasn't been in over a decade. It changed its name to Muttahida Qaumi Movement instead of Muhajir QM. They are a very diverse party, they will be a serious challenge to PPP as long as they are around. Sindh would be divided and PPP has never really gotten a clear hold of Punjab but this time around I think it would be divided between PPP and PML-Q as well.

The last time, in 2002, PPP had the highest number of seats in all of Pakistan (so much for rigged elections). But when you combined PML-Q and MQM, they controlled Punjab and Sindh there by making the government. PPP wasn't even an opposition simply because MMA controlled Balochistan and NWFP. There are all these parties PPP has to compete with.

PML-Q has Shujaat Hussain as the Party President.

Cool. Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But doesn't Musharraf suppose to be the main guy, and Shujaat just the representative?

PML- N and PPP have interim heads.

and how much power do they have? zero.

MQM head is in London for no good reason (well he fears assassination).

Dont know much, so will shut up.

PML-Q has Shujaat Hussain as the Party President.

With actual power being again zero. with real power in the hands of musharaff, who cant be the direct head. all control exercised through the army and intelligence agencies.

MQM is not a mohajir party any more. Hasn't been in over a decade. It changed its name to Muttahida Qaumi Movement instead of Muhajir QM. They are a very diverse party, they will be a serious challenge to PPP as long as they are around. Sindh would be divided and PPP has never really gotten a clear hold of Punjab but this time around I think it would be divided between PPP and PML-Q as well.

So nawaz is virtual non-entity even if he returns?

Imagine if they had not been rigged? What would have been the actual results?
