Re: Pre-Election Deal and post election scenerio
MQM may be doing what others do, but only problem is that when MQM boycott election people with below 10000 votes win NA constituencies where there are over 300000 votes (remember 1997 election).
On the other hand it always make me proud to know that people of Karachi vote genuine graduates who live in same community as their neighbours, work with commitment while in government or out of government, and party top leadership are not greedy of parliament seats (they do not even care to contest election) or chair of power (Kursi).
Such illuminative behaviour of Karachiettes is exceptional in third world politics, especially Pakistani tribal politics, where poor Pakistanis vote for their own tormentors, exploiters, persecutors, looters and deceivers … people who are ‘Angotha chaap Corrupt to core Waderas, Jageerdars, Pirs, Industrialists, shop-keepers, Sardars, and Brotherhood thugs. In short, voters vote non-equal thugs whom these voters serve all their life (cleaning their toilets), still show retarded mentality by expecting that these thugs would serve them when in power … how funny. 
Most of these retarded voters do not even see how luxuriously and where leaders who they think would serve them live. Voters’ expectation to get served by their masters expecting their masters to serve them when in power is pinnacle of expectation … or emptiness of upper chamber.
