Somoene mentioed why we have only 2 parties in USA. In contrast, we have 8 major and dozens of other parties in Pakistan. During 1947, we had only 3 (Muslim League, Pakistan Congress and JI). Today the bhaanmati ka kunba that we see is because the top dogs of every party turned it into a family affair, not letting others to come forward. So of course I will start my own faction if you don’t let me grow. We think that so many political parties is the victory of Democratic system. It’s actually a sign of failure in our country.

While I agree to what you said in your post, but I have some doubts about the number of parties we had in 1947. There was this unionist party, which was so much popular among masses that it could have formed government in Punjab (if I’m not mistaken). Then RSS was also active (I don’t know whether or not they were involved in electoral politics then). As far as I remember about JI, they were not directly involved in politics at time (though indirectly they had a say in all political matters from opposition of separate country to opposition of Mr Jinah). Further, JI split in 1950s due to one faction supporting electoral politics and other opposing it.
