@ajazali

you should know how biradri system works with electoral system. Its all about deals like give and take. electables go to biradri leaders, negotiate with them and get votes only if the both parties are agreed upon. There is no guaranty that one biradri will vote next time for same electable. People in Punjab grow their own food for most part. They dont bother with the performance of govt. rest of the people are victims and powerless, will do only what chaudhary or lambardar say. People cannot even understand thick language of IK full of strange terms like umpire ki ungli uthnay wali hai, Allah mian ne sue moto action lay lia hai.

There you go, in your words rural Punjabis ‘don’t bother about performance of their Gov’ yet rural constitutes of Punjab have so much political clout on Federal level. Is this fair on other three provinces where the population might want something bit more from their government?

Only in ideal world you can change people’s voting behaviour overnight, but in a democracy, you cannot have single province having a complete hegemony on your electoral system and government. That’s simply not democratic.

Imagine such system in India? The country would break into so many different pieces just like Pakistan did 30 years ago. India with 29 states, 1.2 billion population, 400 languages and five major religion is going from strength to strength because they are constantly re-shaping their system to suit their locals needs. Here no one can see past badmouthing PTI if you dare talk about making the system fairer and transparent.

Bus kisi tarhan confirm ho jaye ke PTI nahi jeetne wali even if there is free elections or more units, uske baad koi bhi serious issue issue nahi rehta.

If division of Punjab can end up making Sindh the largest province, then there is also a way of introducing some kind of seat balance between urban and rural Sindh. Karachi on the basis of population alone deserves more PA/NA representation.

You do realise that PMLN literally doesn’t have to anything at all for all other three province to have entire house of Sharif get elected for another 30 years by hook or crook? Is this a fair system and anyway healthy for unit of Pakistan? Be honest, and don’t go off tangent about PTI.
