Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Isn’t “worst democracy” a synonym of the present government? :bummer:

22

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

And what is the political qualification of the chairman? :@:

23

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Makhdoom Amin Fahim lied about it?

24

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

So democracy is only the PPP?

25

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Makhdoom Amin Fahim’s price was a ministry and a few jobs for his family member. How cheaply he sold himself. So much for democracy and sacrificies… :smack:

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Statement is true for true democracy not for civilian dictatorships like in Pakistan.

27

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Well, that's what PPP wants everyone to believe — that democracy is all about PPP.

28

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Dictatorships happen to be more orderly. It's not civilian dictatorship, it's civlian anarchy.

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

It is a shame that you come up with such statement's.

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Whatever it is but tell u what, when person has 2-3 kids sleeping hungry at home for 2 days (that too without power)...he gives #$%% to democracy.

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Just look at their recent past (20-30 years back)

32

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Shame is on those who take it seriously. I do not take a party seriously whose leader is a 23-year-old ankle-biter.

Secondly, I am still awaiting your reply to Post#22. Don’t run away :nono:

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

In case you haven’t noticed, he is not the leader. He is not making any governmental decisions.

Re qualifications, that could be said for everybody, there is no ‘course’ you need to complete to be a politician, ie.what are Imran Khan’s qualifications?? Playing cricket?? That doesn’t stop many from supporting him.

34

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

Isn’t he the chairman of the party? As far as decision-making is concerned, he is not making decisions because he is too young to do so. In that case, why is he the head of the party at the first place?

Let me help you my friend, his only political qualification is that he was born to Benazir Bhutto. That’s it! But should that be it? :bummer:

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship


Does "political Science" ring a bell? He does have a formal education and more than a decade worth of experience in the filed.

36

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

democracy or no democracy i don't care, as long as you are serving the country and its people, otherwise you are no good, no matter how "democratic" you be.

37

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

A political science degree is not the pre-requisite for a political career! Everyone knows that.

All our leaders have a formal education, and his 'decade' of experience is mostly in fundraising. There is nothing wrong with that, but you can't claim this means he should or shouldn't be PM/Pres.

38

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

As I mentioned, the vast majority of PPP members wanted him as leader, and the CEC voted him to be co-chairperson.

If you don’t like it, don’t vote for him when he does become leader. Simple.

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

How could your CEC just name a kid to head the largest party of the country and place all the senior and seasoned politicians under a 23-year-old stripling? Just because he happens to be the son of Benazir? Is it that big a qualification? Do you know anything namely merit?

How can I vote for someone who had no guts to say that it was too early for him to take the reins of the party and that there were many other lifelong and time-tested lieutenants of her deceased mother who deserved to head the party? Had he said that, he could have attained unmatched political stature. He spilled a once-in-a-lifetime chance of instant stardom just because of lack of common sense! And you call him chairman!

Ever heard of Rahul Gandhi? He isn't cochairing Congress just because he is son of Rajiv Gandhi.

Let me reword my question: Why CEC chose Bilawal for chairmanship?

Re: Worst democracy is better than best dictatorship

So China is a dictatorship and they are doing great according to many people and India is the biggest democracy and look at them, scandal after scandal and even today a Gandhi is the only one who can rule them. There are many other examples people have already given of South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.

Bottom line is, as far as I am concerned, it is not the system but the people who run the system. You could have the best system (aka democracy) and the worst people (aka Pakistan's current leadership) running it and you can see the results. So a great dictator can do wonders for a country and also the reverse can happen. Unfortunately for us, Allah gave us the worst dictators and worst democratic leaders. Perhaps the problem is with the people of Pakistan. Once they start to change themselves, things will start to get better. Just my 2 cents.
