Re: Opportunity For PTI In Lahore
Only recently, PTI came with a very decent shadow budget, how many people discuss that? Did media scrutinise the budget? Did you even know about it?
All this fancy talks of shadow government politics work in established democracies with high literacy rate, free and fair electoral system and professional media. Neither Imran is a career politician nor PTI is an institution like political party in an established democracy. This whole shadow government culture hasn’t even taken off in India where democracy is comparatively well settled.
PTI is still doing an excellent job at doing belligerent issue based opposition, and introducing new debates and new ideas in Pakistani politics. For now, this is more than enough. It is simply unfair to expect professional shadow government politics done by highly experienced and highly trained Western administrators belonging to institution like parties, in extremely chaotic, hostile and high on illiteracy societies with unprofessional politicians.
Maybe you should be actually sad about the fact that PTI had to come on the roads to, and take all those extreme steps to get their case on electoral rigging heard. Situation never teach such point in countries where shadow government politics is the norm.
