I think that politics should be a separate section on the forum now. There will definitely be heightened interest over the next 5 years at least, and there are a whole lot of threads, with discussions scattered all over the place. Making a new section will bring some order to the discussion.

Perhaps make a new section, and start us with a few main threads like:

-Bye and LG Elections Thread
-PTI's 100 days performance watch
-KPK performance watch
-Punjab performance watch
-Balochistan performance watch
-Sindh performance watch
-Karachi performance watch
-Federal government performance watch

great idea maybe a sub section within the time pass section?

I wholeheartedly agree with this, would be a nice way to see the performance of the new government.

Why would these guys betray IK? :danish
 
Most of parliamentarians/congressmen around the world are attorneys by profession/education but end up getting all important cabinet positions. Rarely you see people with relevant education and experience appointeded federal ministers except for economists for finance portfolio. Point is federal ministers don’t have to be the experts in their field but they have to assemble a team of experts and competent people which will work under them. Federeal ministers are more like watch dogs who deal with bureaucracy and hold people under him/her accountable.

Malakand division did pretty well and so did the whole KPK

It should be central Punjab selection team that needs answering for the poor show.

Need to build enough public support and hopefully accountability will span across the board. Everyone should get respect but no one should misuse it.
 
Immediate steps need to be taken to reform FBR. If the number of 800,000 tax payers can be increased to even 2 million Pakistan would be in much better position.
 
One thing that got me thinking is that if Dr. Arif Alvi is made president he will have to vacate his seat. Even though Dr. Alvi won by 91k votes and the next highest was TeL with 24k votes which is a difference of 67k votes and this is a relatively safe seat for PTI but why take a risk of losing a crucial seat? We are already at borderline due to majority, would it not have been better to have someone from outside of parliament as President?

There are probably around 10mn in our country that should be paying tax of varying amounts.

I'd say thats about right.

Average family size in Pakistan is about 6 people and traditionally only one member of the family works (the father). Therefore 220/6 = 36 million bread earners roughly. Now this direct taxation can only be for people who earn above a certain minimum income which going by poverty levels in the country would be roughly 50% people. So you are left with 18 million who can potentially pay direct income tax. Then some segments of society such as small farmers are traditionally protected (and as they should be), so I wager those people comprise of about 40% of these 18 million so that leaves us to about 10 million. A major chunk of these 10 million would be people who are not salaried class and instead have their own businesses such as grocery store, tea shop etc - these places do not declare income and file taxes and comprise of the "undocumented" segment of society.



I'd say the total number of eligible tax payers in the country would be somewhere in the range of 6-10 million. It would be MASSIVE challenge to get them under the tax net and would probably take a decade of concentrated effort if not more.

Good post and the only reason they will file is if they are compelled and if they see the money used for their betterment such as hospitals, cleanliness, education, electricity etc.

:salute
 
Heard IK told his Cabinet that now that they were in his Cabinet, they were all responsible to deliver the nation out of the crisis and people had high hopes, expectations from them. Therefore he will try to have atleast 2 cabinet meetings every week, he himself would work 16 plus hours every day and that he expects that they too will work 14 plus hours daily and they will have to forget about their families, friends during this time period and the only real holidays everyone will get will be during Eid.

I think he needs to ease up a bit, the last thing you want is too much stress and burn out.

This is the path they chose, public service, especially at this level, is not meant to be easy. The mess the country is in currently would mean that they need to work tirelessly to put it on the right path again. Can't take the foot off the gas at all for the next 5 years.

I'm sorry, but this is just wrong on so many levels.

He is a federal minister, I understand the austerity but he needs to understand that even in more developed countries, where there are fewer threats, people have security. They need to understand the difference between protocol and security. God forbid something bad was to happen, this would hurt Pakistan. We need the best brains trying to fix the country to at the least have good security.

Good news, but this was expected. It is a general trend worldwide for the winning party to become more popular. The real challenge is to maintain and grow from here on.

I think, if PTI perform well over the next few years, we will see PTI rise to ~40%, and PPP to ~25% by 2023. I don't think PML-N will survive, they will fall down to ~13%. MMA will stay around ~3-4%, and MQM(P) will also remain around ~1-2%. TLP will die, and the number of independents will go down.

Why do you think PPP will go up that high? I mean, there are some serious cronies within that party. If Zardari is convicted along with his cronies, I think their popularity will go down.

Bilawal is too young to handle the party currently but let's see what he can do. If he can somehow distance himself from the normal PPP mindset of "kal bhi bhutto zinda tha aj bhi bhutto zinda hai" then maybe, after some sweeping changes within the party they can rise. This will take years though. They might have some sort of upswing by 2028.

I think they will rise that high mainly due to PML-N taking a serious nosedive. Them nosediving will mean that many of their supporters simply won't vote. Less PML-N people voting will boost both PPP and PTI up by a few percentage points.

There will also be a lot supporters defecting from PML-N to PTI and PPP. Bilawal has an appeal to some people, and many of the PML-N defects may side with PPP. There will obviously also be a wave of PML-N supporters siding with PTI on the basis of performance.

Another factor is that, because PTI are now in power, and because most of the seats they won were won by "nazryatis", they will be less inclined to take PML-N electables on board. Many electables may end up flipping to PPP instead of PTI, and it would give them a boost.

Hence, PTI will end up around 40%, while PPP could potentially reach 25%.

So refreshing to see Pakistan government pages tweet about our very own PTI ministers!

Haha journalists and guests were disappointed at oath day when they came to know that 9 dishes program has been cancelled and people will be served with Chaye, biskooot and Paani :)))
 
Who else here is watching more and more PTV now? It is such a refreshing change from all the other channels filled with screaming, shouting, and flashing graphics. I'm so glad PTV are relatively free from political interference now, and I am glad PTI have committed to give them full editorial independence, and have planned a big overhaul.

They need a massive overhaul. New cameras needed, cameramen need training, quality of broadcast needs to improve too.

I also think that PTV World needs a massive overhaul too. It should be in HD because it is catering to a section of the population that mostly have HDTVs. They should also transform PTV World into an international news channel, kind of how Russia has RT, Iran has Press TV, UK has BBC, Qatar has Aljazeera, Turkey has TRT World, etc.
 
When are we going to see high-flying dismissals... I wanna wake up to news that IK fired top management of FBR, Steel Mills, PIA, Railways, NAB, SSGC, SNGC, WAPDA etc etc and placed them all on ECL.

Imran Khan gave an interview to Arshad Sharif which will be aired day after tomorrow. IMO IK should stay away from these interviews for now.

Please raise this on twitter with the PTI. We need audits to show even the thick Nooras the level of looting.
