Politics - Pakistani 2018 General Election and post-election discussion

[Mian]

So, new drama from Nawaz Sharif. I am now starting to think there is some mendacity to the extent/nature Kulsoom's illness. It seems terribly convenient.

What do you guys think? Will the verdict get delayed or the announcement would go ahead as planned?

In my view verdict will be announced as planned but Nooras are so predictable i think he doesn't want to get arrested from court room without that massive crowd and scenes so to cash the moment he need time so that his party can arrange a massive crowd and when he get arrested on airport his party can cash it dekhen qanon ke aage sir jukha dya, qaade jamhuryat, biwi is haalat main he aur inse inteqaam lay ja raha.

I asked a question yesterday because of my limited medical knowledge is it a normal practice to operate a person when he/she is on ventilator? Sharif family is saying Kulsoom Nawaz underwent a surgery of her lungs yesterday.

Verdict will definitely be announced, the accountability court Judge is bound by the time limit set by the Supreme Court. Now will Nawaz Sharif return and risk a long term imprisonment? I don't think so.

He can get a bail from HC?

He can get a bail from HC?

Well, he can, but according to the program I posted yesterday, It is not given in ordinary circumstances for a sentence beyond four years.

Nawaz Sharif Mafia is incompetent but it serves them well as their audience is more incompetent, even in 2018.

Of course the verdict will be announced on Friday.

Guys Friday is going to be even bigger than Nawaz's disqualification verdict.

It is a massive day for Pakistan.

This wouldn't have been possible without Imran Khan.

Nawaz will appeal to supreme court. The appeal will be swiftly dispensed with within days.

This Friday will be the final nail in the coffin for Noon league.

Look at Maryam's face in London. She's lost alot of weight and her whole face and tone tells you that even she knows that it's over.

I am not a doctor, but my sister is. She says, an open lung surgery can be performed while a person is on a ventilator. Since, even if one is not on a ventilator, the nature of the surgery would require breathing assistance.

If she is on ventilator it means her brain functions can longer support her body, hence the coma in the first place. A lung operation is pretty useless and would mean nothing. Her cancer fcourse may have metastasized into her pulmonary system but that is dealt with chemotherapy. They could ofcourse treat the lung surgically but it would have no affect on her condition at this point due to her coma and being on the ventilator and her cancer, which had nothing to do with her lungs. Now, she is not on the ventilator for a problem in her lungs, I mean she could be but that's not the what the Nooras told us. They have been telling us its due to her thyroid cancer and her failing treatment, which had nothing to do with lungs.

In short, its all nonsense and they have no honor playing politics on their wife and mother's body.

People Power

Vote

After Supreme court, Pti dramas and allegations masterminded by ISI's sickness PML N has been slightly jolted. Still strong.

TalentSpotter bhai, sorry to burst your bubble, but these polls you have posted are over 1 month old, not sure why Geo decided it's a good idea to post surveys 1 month after their completion. especially just 3 weeks out from elections. Makes you wonder about their credibility considering the survey period is written in fine print rather than being clearly specified, it's giving Patwaris a false sense of being ahead.

If you look at the polls by Roshan Pakistan Opinion Polling, they had similar results for May-June, but things have changed quite dramatically in just the last month.

They are doing some really good work. But why is no media outlet giving credence to them? Like, no newspaper or TV channel have ever quoted their surveys? And yet, they make the claim of being the pollster of choice for two major political parties?

I think they are relatively new. Gallup, IPOR, and Pulse are more established, though that means nothing when Gallup regularly mispredicts by a very large margin. Another thing I noticed about Gallup is that they have done a poll over an entire month, how can we trust that when we know how much trends can change in a month?

Still better than IPOR, who polled from April 15th to June 2.

I am inclined to believe that Gallup is presenting the truer picture because Roshan Pakistan's results for the same period are also quite close as pointed out on their Twitter handle:

Gallup got it right for that period for sure, but I remember they were embarassingly wrong in 2013. Another weird thing with Gallup is that just in May, they were saying PML-N 38%, PTI 25%.

Don't think they were. They only over-predicted PMLN's gains slightly. In their last major survey prior to the elections in 2013, they put PMLN at 37% and PPP and PTI at 16% each.

The end results were PMLN ~33%, PPP ~15%, and PTI ~17%.

Regarding the 38-25% one in May, that is definitely quite weird. I don't think anything happened between then and June 2 that would warrant this cascading drop in PMLN's popularity. Also, 12 percentage points shaved off the N-chart, and none of it went to PTI!

I try not to doubt anyone's sickness but most neutrals now think Sharif is using it to his own advantage and i was quite surprised when he said today Kulsoom Nawaz is still on ventilator and had surgery yesterday.

Anyway, i think the verdict will be announced in his absence and he knows he is in deep trouble.

I think the same but it will play into PMLN's narrative of victimization. That said, I believe they are overestimating the amount of sympathy they can get from the general public. Particularly when anti-incumbency factor is rampant among Pakistani voters.

Great work bro!

Just noticed something strange, Roshan Pakistan in January 14-17 had PPP at 21% and PTI 19%?? I don't think at any stage PPP was more popular than PTI in last 5 years?

And as mentioned in earlier posts, Gallup had PMLN at 38% in May and after one month lost 12% which is MASSIVE decline but PTI gained NOTHING, apparently all went to "Others" i.e. Independents?

I think Roshan a few months ago had low sample sizes, so their results were outliers. Their margin for error was near 5%. Now they are more accurate.

I don't want to doubt someone's sickness, but you never know with these Sharifs. I think he knows he's in trouble and may possibly be using the sickness as an excuse. Verdict will probably still go ahead without him in my opinion.

Someone else can probably give a better answer, but I think PTI can probably take 5 seats. Dr Yasmin Rashid, Aleem Khan, Imran Khan Shafqat Mehmood, Hammad Azhar.

Unfortunately it drowns out every other important issue here in Pakistan. Switch on the tv and 90% chance that the prime time show on any channel will have corruption as its main topic.

Corruption is the biggest issue for every Pakistani who doesn't benefit from corrupt rulers. It is because of corruption that the government cannot provide education, health and basic civic services, but you seem like the "Kuch khata hai tou lagata bhi hai type" so not surprised that you don't think corruption is a big issue.

I am not a doctor, but my sister is. She says, an open lung surgery can be performed while a person is on a ventilator. Since, even if one is not on a ventilator, the nature of the surgery would require breathing assistance.

If she is on ventilator it means her brain functions can longer support her body, hence the coma in the first place. A lung operation is pretty useless and would mean nothing. Her cancer fcourse may have metastasized into her pulmonary system but that is dealt with chemotherapy. They could ofcourse treat the lung surgically but it would have no affect on her condition at this point due to her coma and being on the ventilator and her cancer, which had nothing to do with her lungs. Now, she is not on the ventilator for a problem in her lungs, I mean she could be but that's not the what the Nooras told us. They have been telling us its due to her thyroid cancer and her failing treatment, which had nothing to do with lungs.

In short, its all nonsense and they have no honor playing politics on their wife and mother's body.

Thanks for the details guys now he is using this excuse to delay the verdict. Let's see if the verdict is announced tomorrow or delayed.

Last night, there was a conversation that ensued between two guests.

Both of them have been born in Pakistan, worked their youth overseas and are now near retirement.

One argued that the “wadera” system in Pakistan, particularly Punjab was necessary because it is needed to perform small favors. These may include visa problems, licenses, or disagreements between family members. Also, because this has been the norm since Pakistan’s inception and will remain so.

The other stated that it was due to the mentality of the older generation that does not allow things to change. “Wouldn’t it be better if we did not have to ask for favors”? He argued that those in Punjab were too comfortable in their lives and roles and do not want change, no matter if it is good for them or not.

This is how PMLN has ruled the roost for years in Punjab.

In my district, the MNA welcomes everyone into his office. Whatever the favor he or she needs, he says “yes”. No inquiry, no questioning, just yes. He occasionally acts as the judge amongst land disputes and financial matters amongst the more affluent members of his community.

His reward?

Remaining the MNA of his district for thirty years and counting. And it will continue like a spoke on a wheel.

“The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round...”

The wheels on the bus won't be going round and round for much longer inshallah.

Your account of the MNA for 30 years is correct and it's been a similar story from many places that I know of too.

But this is about to be broken up now, with dramatic, swashbuckling effect.

The reason:

The wave of the morally awoken youth segment of Pakistan (18 to 40). This group of voters is the biggest voting demographic. They are present everywhere in Pakistan now. More so than the previous 5 years. Even in villages that have voted on the basis of the account you gave in your post.

Son's and daughters are convincing their parents to vote for PTI and are sticking two fingers at non performing, baraadari selected candidates. I'm hearing so many accounts in Punjab and even in some section of Karachi. I'm talking about in villages ("pinds") too.

And don't forget the wave of voters that are openly confronting their MNA's for doing eff all.

Things are changing quickly and a bright and prosperous Pakistan is only 7 to 8 years away now inshallah.

Imran Khan has finally arrived and Pakistan will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

Yes, there has been an emergence of a more politically savvy and aware voters group, particularly in that age bracket.

But it will take another five years to undo generations of this brainwashing.

Showbiz will take the throne because people are hesitant to change, especially these bull-headed golden oldies in Punjab.

As Idries Shah stated, "enlightenment must come little by little, otherwise it would overwhelm".
