Re: Ok, so else ya got for prez?
One, you don’t vote for president. It is only twisted PPP democracy where the president somehow became more important than the prime minister. President is just supposed to be a figure-head, a symbol of federation.
If we just try and ‘research’ before we vote, things would change. We don’t need to vote for ‘bhutto’ or ‘sharif’ or ‘bhai’. Just see what kind of people they have nominated for your constituency and vote accordingly. Even if better, cleaner people from the big parties get elected, it would be a nice change, forcing parties to nominate clean people in the next elections and hopefully, things would get better eventually. Democracy take decades to mature but unfortunately interventions from our ‘security forces’ keep us going back to the same old guys again and again.
Right - sorry – I am in the US and thinking that way. Still, all the representatives you elect are then going to choose a leader. And they keep putting up the same usual suspects.
