Gilani’s predictions: A two-party system and a short span for PTI

MULTAN: A short lifespan for the PTI, and a two-party system in Pakistan; that’s what former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani sees when asked about the future of Pakistani politics.

In Gilani’s opinion, every political party, be it the JUI-F, JI, PMLQ, PML-N or PPP has its ‘B’ team which, in his opinion, have now gathered in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf. “If PTI is full of turncoats, it can’t bring change and revolution in the country. Imran Khan is surrounded by a bunch of opportunists,” said Gilani.

While he says the PTI won’t last, he is quick to point out that the PPP and PML-N are both ideological political parties and will survive the test of time. It is the parties that were formed during dictatorships and are full of opportunists, he says, that will fizzle out sooner or later.

Does he really understand what ideology means? And how different this two-party system is going to be other than setting turns to assume power? Isn’t it what IK has been saying that both are actually ‘B’ team of each other and have formed a nefarious nexus to fool the nation in the name of democracy? Why all of our coming generations must act just as voters to help them carry out the formalities of elections so that power could be exchanged between the Bhuttos and Sharifs? Is that Pakistan all about?

Oh yeah, this I can agree with.

Both PPP and PML-N have their roots in dictatorship. Only difference is that the founder of the former used to call the general Daddy, and the former probably called his general Abba Hazoor.

Both will fizzle our sooner rather than later.

Says the guy who was a minister with Zia ul Haq.... nice!

If anyone knows what Angelina Jolie said after meeting then PM Gilani during flood crises in Pakistan and still votes for him needs a thorough mental examination.

I wonder what PPP rivals said when PPP was contesting first elections.

Everyone was contesting first elections then in 1970. PPP won 27% of seats and received 19% of votes but still wanted power, resulting in break up of Pakistan.
