Re: MQMs new challenge
Senate is never based on population, hence its upper house of parliament (or congress) designation. Who knows how a future bhawalpur province caucuse with in the senate? I would also divide balochistan into an upper quetta province and a kalat province. A third province could be based around gawadar, though I want big cities like karachi and gawadar (will get there if properly developed with links) to be semi-independent in policy like it is with big cities in the west. The provincial and federal govt have to be developing smaller towns to city standards instead of flooding the few big cities with quota people etc and also taxing / looting them mercilessly.
But for all of this to happen, a bottom up civilized society revolution will need to happen. Imran never mentions it explicitly but he is wrong just to focus on trickle down politics as for that to happen, a bottom up politics has to happen. There never has been nor will be any messiahs in Pakistan.
