Re: Of political parties, monarchy, dictatorship!
I'd say
Q1: A
Simply because it gives the system a chance to work. Taking babysteps and self-correction, the nation will eventually mature its own democratic system. No one (Musharraf) can ensure a "sure democracy" by his supervision because his democracy may not be the democracy of the majority of people.
Let the democracy work. Even let it fail to some point and then learn and pick up the pieces and work on it again. Army should NOT interfere in civil affairs, unlike the past where the politicians would meet the Generals and Generals would come running to enforce law. That should not happen again.
Unless the system is given time to evolve and cleanse itself of unfit democratic elements, nothing is likely to improve. Enforcement only works against democracy.
** Q2:** If i was to vote, i'd probably vote PPP. Because they're the biggest party in Pakistan and their support stems from all 4 provinces. They're not a party of a specific region. However, i am not in the favor of Zardari being the forerunner in any aspect. I would gladly support Amin Fahim's bid for PM because he has experience. Not only that, but this will successfully evolve the party as well as country because it will break the myth of "family politics".
PPP is known to be the voice of poor, middle-class, and some elites. It has always been that way.
