^ The setup (thanks to the dictatorship) did not allow the other options to come out effectively. One such example is the PTI. Hopefully, things calm down, and PPP completes this term, while the other sincerer forces get their act right and agenda across so that people can vote for them. This is the stablest and brightest path we have for now. I hope the PML[N] lets the PPP complete this term, though they should keep the restoration of the independent judiciary alive.
PTI decided to not take part in the elections and it wastheir own fault.
Now I agree with you that hopefully other more sincere fores get their act together because it is way overdue now.
Unless PPP really starts screwing up where we get to a situation needing early elections, I agree that they should be allowed to complete their term and opposition keep them 'honest' and people hold them accountable for what they want them to do.
its growing pains of a democracy and in our case it has its own issues but eventually one hopes that faces will change, and people will really give their performance review on the polling stations.
and its not restoration of independent judiciary, but creation of one that is needed. we cant consider musharraf's rule as illegal and all PCO judges as legal.
