Once I raised the issue with my brother who moved from Canada to Karachi and considers that Pakistani politics stink. According to him, most Pakistanis outside Karachi are so shameless that they knowingly give votes to same people who rape, abuse, maltreat, degrade, and loot them, but their votes fall to these thugs only because they consider them as from their Bradari.
Your brother has told you nothing but truth. I wish our people know that hypocracy and democracy cannot coexist.
Your reply about selection of senate members is thought provoking. I am wondering how much of these suggestions were influenced by House of Lords in Britain?!
i personally do not know much about British system of government.

Khoji sorry for delay in replying.
As for the question you asked ... the answer is NO, UK 'House of Lords' is not a body of technocrats rather it is body of prominent politicians and thus an extension of Parliament. That is what I do not like, that is, purpose of higher house when both houses are houses full of politicians serving their political party,
For Pakistan, the idea I put down is mine and I believe that would be good for Pakistan, as then Senate would be body of technocrats looking after the interest of their province, affairs of politicians and country. At present, Senate is meaningless because it is just an extension of Parliament, as both consist of politicians representing their party.
