Re: PTI Bubble...........
**yes , exactly the bubble world of elite class and forget the millions of poor and lower middle class
in my constituency of NA-126 Lahore alone, registered voters are 359,000 and that is mostly upper middle class and upper class. Still Khwaja Hassan got 91,000 votes and Shafqat Mahmood 96,000 votes.
What about the rural population of punjab who have no twitter or FB etc.

Middle, upper middle, and upper class consists of the people who
1. Run businesses, create jobs and pay taxes.
2. are educated, make good salaries, and pay taxes
3. Are overseas Pakistanis, and contribute heavily to the economy.
The lower middle and poor rural class has little to no tax contribution, and little to no perspective of whats actually going on in the country. If the tax paying segment of society has woken up and decided to audit the taxes that they pay to the govts, it is their right.
Lets not forget, these people have choices. They can easily find jobs overseas. They can get citizenships overseas, and run off to la la land adn live happily ever after. Once they leave, Pakistan's literacy rate will drop from its already dreadful level. What then? To disparage the well-off segment of society for merely standing up for their rights, and holding the govt accountable is off-key.
Simply counting the number of rural and urban voters and using that as a barometer is not enough for success. We all know that most of Pakistan is rural, wadera-lized, zameendar suppressed, and we all know how this illiterate rural population is manipulated into surrendering their rights. They cannot stand up for their rights. The richer segment of the society has stood up for them now. This is the reality that is giving status quo the heebie jeebies.
