Is being a Pakistan or India PM the hardest job in the world?

[gazza619]

Neighbours: China, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia
Economy: Humungous debt (mostly applicable to Pakistan) & ever rising inflation
Public: Generally corrupt, illiterate, immoral & stupid
Army: Powerful protectors of the country but always involved in politics & corruption (mostly applicable to Pakistan).
Judicial system: Immoral, unfair, slow & corrupt
Strength: Atomic Power
Politicians: Enough said

It does sound like the hardest job in the world. I guess there is a very good reason why no PM in the history of Pakistan has ever completed a full term. One needs to be a super human to be able to able to do everything right, specially when the political party in power seldom has the clear majority to make important decisions and amendments.

You seriously think that Pakistan never had full term for any PM in history due to above reasons?

Reason starts and ends with army. If multiple elected PM can finish their terms then democracy will start becoming more mature with less role for army. Army has full incentive to not allow democracy mature. Merry go round of PMs without finishing terms works very well for army.

If IK can come back with full majority next time and finishes his terms then it will be a good start. I personally don't think that he will do well as administrator, but that besides the point.

Will the Army allow IK or anyone to come with full majority?

Its quite an easy job.

In Pakistan you can get by without any political ideology.

In India you just need to make Hindus angry at Muslims.

100% agree. It is the easiest job in India and Pakistan currently. It is so easy to fool public in India and Pakistan, especially the educated ones these days.

I feel Pakistan PM has tougher job. They have to contend with army and walk a tight rope. They also have an uphill task of keeping afloat a failing economy and curbing Terrorism.

That thing has worked in for a total of 12 years in India in its 75 years of existence.
and honestly, If Rahul Gandhi is removed from the equation, being a PM in India would not be so straight forward thing.

Pakistan PM has a much tougher job. India has a relatively better structure . Not so easy to defect parties in India. So if u have a majority - u retain power for full term without facing no confidence votes. Plus the Army and Intelligence have little role in politics

There is little chance of a PM getting ' selected " or deposed by military in India

The difficulty of the job is one thing and may be dictated by geopolitical events, but since this is a cricket forum I'll state that it seems easier in Pakistan for cricketers to enter politics (Aamir Sohail, Afridi in the near future) and rise all the way to the top (Imran Khan) defeating all the dynasts and career politicians along the way.

I can't imagine Dhoni becoming PM of India (lol). Cricketers in India who became politicians are just languishing like Kirti Azad, Mohammad Azharuddin. The most successful seems to be Sidhu and even his career has been lukewarm at best.
