@GoldenAsif

The tide has turned.

I have recently visited Pakistan and the general consensus atleast among educated people is that we have tried the two big parties twice or thrice and they have been thoroughly disappointing, so it’s only fair that IK be given a chance to govern. He may be inexperienced etc. but he could not be any worse than the current lot. People are just fed up with the status quo

My prediction is that you will see more and more influential people from various parties joining ranks of PTI nearer to the time of the election. Even Ghulam Mustafa Khar has shown an interest. I sincerely hope that PTI does not take corrupt people like him

I see PTI emerging as the second or third largest party in the National Assembly in the next election.

Absolutely correct analysis! however, a lot of people in Pakistan, especially rural areas usually give their vote to whoever brings a bus, offers them lunch/dinner and or a couple of bucks and that’s it! no offence to anyone, but this is what I have observed personally.

Nevertheless, the tide has actually turned and even people from rural areas are becoming more aware. The people are so fed up of the two status-quo parties that even if someone shows them Imran pick-pocketing someone, they will still vote for him. Same here for me !!
