There are two important leasons to learn from this result:
PML(Q) is a force to reackon as they have very strong candidated all over Pakistan and they had actualluy delivered on ground that PPP and PML(N) hasnt been able to do so far. As this nparty distance itself from Musharaf and some disasters like lal Masjid it may emerge aforce in next election.
Overconfidence of PML(N) riding on just slogans of judiary and NRO wont carry them far. In Punjab, the only thing they have achieved is the witch hunting of officers and are running the affairs with junior officers placed in grades that are very senior.. failed atta scheme and unplanned demolition of lahore buildings would add to public anger..
