Pakistan is not one country with unified perceptions and values. There is no such thing as typical or normal Pakistani. Thus, people in Pakistan have different perceptions regarding politicians you mentioned, and they have their own reasons. For instance:

1: **For some, all 3 you mentioned above are Crook, thug, selfish, power-hungry, and dishonest to core … and none of them have any interest with wellbeing of Pakistan above their own wellbeing *

2: For some, Zardari is the best amongst all 3 and also is best for the country. For these people Zardari represents Bhutto and is also victimised by authorities just like Bhutto. According to these people, Zardari spent years in jail for sin (corruption) he was not guilty of as after years it did not got proven. To them, Zardari similarity of victimisation is just like victimisation of Bhutto who got hanged for sin Bhutto’s supporters believe Bhutto was innocent.

3: For some, Nawaz is the best amongst all 3, especially for people in Punjab, as to many of them Nawaz is from Punjab who shows his prejudice towards Punjab openly. For many, Nawaz is good regardless of all evil and corruption in him, because he talks about and uses Islam in his politics (make people fool in the name of Islam like his spiritual father), what they like.

4: For some, Imran is the best as they prefer to overlook all his obvious malicious and treacherous pasts. These people believe and defend what Imran says blindly. They try to defend or ignore everything if anyone points to Imran’s obvious malicious and treacherous pasts. Love of Imran for some is also result of their own disillusion with politicians they used to love before.

There is a difference between being ambitious (Imran Khan) and being greedy & power-hungry (Zardari, Sharifs, Chaudharies etc.)

One may accuse Imran of all sorts of things ((being arrogant and full of himself in his heyday, being prejudiced against certain players (I see it more as professional rivalry or an ego clash just like both Wasim and Waqar had problems with each other, being a pakhtoon nationalist (whatever that means!), his past moral weaknesses etc.)) but I don’t buy the notion that IK doesn’t care about the well-being of ordinary Pakistanis. Why would he then take such great pains to set up Pakistan’s first cancer hospital, Namal University etc. His social achievements are there for everyone to see.

Coming from a privileged background did IK really need to do that?

What have our feudal crooks ever given back to the ordinary people?*
