Lately we've all noticed the backlash at alleged corruption by PMLN and PPP, taken to an extreme level online and offline.

What was particularly interesting is the josh o kharosh and valvala by the western Pakistanis who haven't voted in their lives, yet their vocal chords could be heard from space on twitter as well. To a point, where you'd wonder these guys will rather stop breathing rather than take an iota of corruption in their stride.

Therefore, the question to be asked is why are they choosing to live in a country whose administration is currently facing wave after wave of corruption charges? Johnson has been at the center of several ethics inquiries, including over how a Caribbean island holiday was paid for, how he paid for his Downing Street flat refurb, and whether he misused his position as London mayor to benefit an American businesswoman with whom he had an affair.

Less said about the Trump administration, and it's racist policies toward Muslims the better. However, as president, Trump flouted all kinds of norms, starting with his decision not to divest from his business interests while in office. That set the stage for an administration marked by self-interest, profiteering at the highest levels and more than 3,700 conflicts of interest.

The above texts are quoted from published sources in the US and the UK so they're not made up. And I'm sure there will be many more cases from more knowledgeable posters in this area.

Anyway, the question is will the western Pakistanis relocate if there continues to be corruption charges launched against their administrations? And lastly, will they take to the streets and encourage others to do so?
 
because they are beneficiaries of the corrupt western system and cannot leave it and move to Pakistan under Imran.

wonder how many of them have the guts to admit they voted for Boris Johnsons party
 
There are differences between corruption in a first world country vs in Pakistan

1. The amounts are not as high, in Pakistan it's in Billions of $$
2. The billions in corrupt money are taken out of Pakistan to hide in overseas and off shore accounts which hurts Pakistan's economy - First world countries are already developed
3. In the west when these corruption cases are taken to courts, justice prevails. In Pakistan, the legal system is working to benefit the corrupt
