hahaha I got you by the balls with that statement and you know it. It was as illogical as your statement about NS legitimacy.
Moving on… Imran Khan is not teaming up with TUQ. There people who want this to happen but PTI is doing its best to stay away from PAT. They dont want to be associated with them. Imran Khan wants to give democracy a chance. But this not democracy. Just holding rigged elections and claiming power is not democracy.
** Democracy as a Political System of Competition for Power**
Democracy is a means for the people to choose their leaders and to hold their leaders accountable for their policies and their conduct in office.
The people decide who will represent them in parliament, and who will head the government at the national and local levels. They do so by choosing between competing parties in regular, free and fair elections.
Government is based on the consent of the governed.
In a democracy, the people are sovereign—they are the highest form of political authority.
*Power flows from the people to the leaders of government, who hold power only temporarily. *unlike nawaz and bhutto family
Laws and policies require majority support in parliament, but the rights of minorities are protected in various ways.
The people are free to criticize their elected leaders and representatives, and to observe how they conduct the business of government.
Elected representatives at the national and local levels should listen to the people and respond to their needs and suggestions. We have not had local body elections in years.
Elections have to occur at regular intervals, as prescribed by law. Those in power cannot extend their terms in office without asking for the consent of the people again in an election.
For elections to be free and fair, they have to be administered by a neutral, fair, and professional body that treats all political parties and candidates equally.
All parties and candidates must have the right to campaign freely, to present their proposals to the voters both directly and through the mass media.
*Voters must be able to vote in secret, free of intimidation and violence. *
Independent observers must be able to observe the voting and the vote counting to ensure that the process is free of corruption, intimidation, and fraud.
*There needs to be some **impartial **and independent tribunal to resolve any disputes about the election results. *Our courts are not impartial in fact ex CJP has just been rewarded for his service.
