Reviewing the PPP and PML in Pakistani Politics


 

Shrinking of PPP Voters:

 

In 1970, the PPP attracted 42 per cent of the votes polled in Punjab. A total of eight elections "” spread over a thirty-seven year time span "” PPP's vote bank in Punjab has been shrinking. In 1988, the PPP got 40 per cent of the Punjab vote, 39 per cent in 1990 and 1993, 22 per cent in 1997, 27 per cent in 2002 and 29 per cent in 2008.

 

In 1970, the PML attracted a mere 23 per cent of the votes polled in Punjab. In 1988, the PML got 38 per cent of the Punjab vote, 49 per cent in 1990, 45 per cent in 1993, 59 per cent in 1997 and 52 per cent in 2002. In 2008, the combined PML-N-PML-Q vote stood at 69 per cent.

 

What Party & Which Voter:

 

According to a 2008 exit poll by Gallup Pakistan, 43 per cent of the PPP voters are "illiterate" while only 26 per cent of the PML voters are "illiterate." Furthermore, a mere 5 per cent of the PPP voters are "college-educated" while the PML's "college-educated" voters are twice that many.

 

Next: A typical PML voter is urbanized, relatively better educated and upwardly mobile. This is the Pakistani that's growing. A typical PPP voter lives in a rural area with almost no education. This is the Pakistani that's shrinking. No wonder, PML's constituency is growing and PPP's is shrinking.

 

People of Pakistan Know Democracy:

 

We have had nine elections in the past 37 years, and the one lesson that stands out is: if non-political forces do not interfere in Pakistan's natural political evolution then the process is definitely heading towards a two-party system. Those two parties are: the PPP and the PML, and the two collectively take away a good 75 per cent to 80 per cent of the national vote. In essence, the national race becomes a bi-polar contest.

 

Interestingly, some 15 per cent of all Pakistani voters have a family member employed outside of Pakistan. According to Gallup, 13 per cent of overseas Pakistani families voted for PPP and 18 per cent for PML.

 

The Voters Divide:

 

Yes, interior Sindh with its rural, untutored population-base voted the PPP but Punjab's urbanized, educated population-base voted the PML-N. History is witness that Punjab is where governments are made "” or broken. And, Punjabi politics is fast becoming issue-based as opposed to emotion-driven. The PPP, once again, is behind the PML-N on issues. The PML-N won in Punjab because its politics was issue-driven; unambiguously anti-Musharraf and categorically pro-judiciary. The PPP lost out in Punjab because its politics revolved around emotions more than issues.

 

The PPP has been out of power for 12 years. For a decade, the PPP's leadership has either been in exile or in jail. It now seems that the PPP is having difficulty grasping the emergence of at least two new centers of power "” the electronic media and the lawyers' community both as parts of the new, reawakened civil society.

 

Old Wine New Bottle "“ Works No More:

 

The PPP needs to repackage itself. Clearly, the politics of "˜Roti, Kapra and Makaan' (food, clothing and shelter) work no more (even less so in a future election). Punjabi vote is moving away from personalization of politics to issues. So should the PPP. Pakistani vote will be a cult no more in the next election. At 41, it's time for the PPP to develop formal structures that transcend individuals. To guarantee permanence, the PPP should have a social purpose. The PPP ought to become an institution. It should have a life of her own; a life that is beyond the "˜conscious intentions' of the PPP's individual leaders.

 

Is the PML the party of the future? Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's PPP must reinvent itself. Benazir Bhutto's PPP must recreate itself. Otherwise, examples cited from the past pretty much dictate the future.

SALAAM BHAI LOG

first of all please say thanks to our taliban bhai log in karachi, firstly i thought it was eunuch altaf's another SICK oracle but i was filled with joy when i read this

in daily dawn, june 26,,local news WAH WAH WAh

http://dawn.com/2008/06/26/local.htm

KARACHI: Local Taliban warn truckers against supplying to Nato -----------READ FOR DETAILS

I pray, our taliban brothers come to our rescue and fulfil our dreams and kick mohajir and their vandals into sea and hang altaf high on the 1947Tower in Karachi water front,,say amen



NOw the post:::
THERE are two feelings one is of happiness and other is disappointment

disappointed because the webmaster has come diametrically opposite to his or their stance, i thought that they are real MQM opponents , but suddently they appeared to be a kinda democratic, justice loving creatrue, very bad very sad. I am also dissapointed as webmaster has blocked my blog, which was very very interesting. I only request him please dont consider me a MQM eunuch, i hate mohajirs just as rest of the pakistan hates this community which in the words of immortal benazir are the upbringings of the sanitary virus and coward rats.

Happines came from invite2truth,,i love this hatred and disparity in his words. The kind of polarity he showed in unity, i simply loved it. This is what we needed to have a free karachi. that is ::we are one nation, we are one, united, together we stand divided we earn more kind of philosophy.

Just see mr invite2truth is saying we are ONE, and than he said, we are one as punjabi, one as baluchi, one as pathans and two as new and old sindhis, and than we are also pakistanis, well dude, we have sindh, punjab, sarhad and baluchistan, by the way whre is pakistan hehehehehhehheh. May i dare ask where is Pakistani heheheheh i have only seen one person in my life who writes Pakistani as postnomial , heheheh otherwise we are alll but not pakistani. heheheehh


People like Shazia mari is saying to new hero city nazim karachi on his views heheh SHAME SHAME SHAME but she forgot what deputy chairman senate spoke on the floor of the senate against punjab and pakistan and all HONORABLE member clapped on his hatred filled speeech. Sanauulah zehri even said, in SENATE offcourse, soon non baluchis have to get visas for baluchistan, and no guarantee that people of pujab will get it or not,,,hehehhehe no one infact took the notice of his daring remarks.

but city nazim said which i saw on one the channels, following kind of words/;;;meray bhaio , buzargo businessmen hazraat, aaap apna sarmaya leker bahar mat jao,,yahin lagaoo, kahin aisa na ho kay aap paisa bahar le jao aur phir yahan kuch ho jaeee, aur jab 6 mahinay baad tum wapis aana chaho to sub kuch badal chuka ho""""""

whats wrong he said, stock market has lost till today ONE THOUSAND AND 3HUNDRED 47 BILLION RUPEES and from 15 566 points have dropped below 11 000 hehehe. which country except afghanistan survived without businesss heheheh.

please CONDEMMN HIM WITH HARSHEST words, more hatred for karachi and its poeple more we are closer to our goal,,to KICK KARACHI AND MOHAJIRS OUT OF PAKISTAN.

Interstingly, the grand eunuch ALTAF has summoned him to LONDON and asking to apologize because city nazim has gone against his custodianship to cover punjab. Heee ex servicemen--the fired cartridges have not said a single word on what happened in SENATE but lashing city nazim---bravo--we need this kind of polarization---it really helps.

Dear webmaster and invite2truth,,,,yesteday i watched a dram on geo,,TANHA HI TO HAIN--in the drama, they showed a politician who was asking for a whore from a female pimp heheh, and than she made a deal and story goes on,,ramzan may amir liaqat and fazela kazi ::usoool e mabasharat ::: per eye opening discussions kartay hainnn and we say

HUM ZINDA QAUM HAIN ,,PAINDA QAUM HAIN,,, My dear,, bohot ho chaka, lets raise the slogan---YA SHEIKH apni apni dekh,,,,,,I DEMAND NAWAZSHARIF to fulfill his demand of boycotting MQM, plzzzzzzzzz plzzzzzzzzzzzzz , till the time this party is in politics, pakistan will not prosper.

baqi kal, plz read the dawn news, baq phir sahi,,,,,

by the way, do you know, how much NATO army is deployed tonite on afghan border--BON BON
