Politics - Pakistani 2018 General Election and post-election discussion

[Mian]

So where are all the Nooras on the street. Why arent you on the streets? I saw one guy desperate for attention and that was about it.

They are saying media blackout i wonder who is stopping them to record the videos and pics with mobile and other devices and upload on social media? Let see those millions of noora supporters on road chanting noore ko insaf do!

At least raise soem blag flags on your houses noora supporters let us see yoru jamhurya ki movement!

 

[LegendInzi]

Baaqi baaten choro 5 saal jo Kayani waale dhandli se yeh PM raha wo halal thi? Ab bera messiah banta he demcoracy ka inko democracy apni kursi ke baad he yaad aati he. Btw why are you worried you already said they are getting the majority so calm down and watch!

Aik aur hawai fire. Proof? Ya yeh bhi Naeem ul Haq ke kaan mein Shahid Masood qayamiti phoonk gya?

I would love the scenes and would love to see nooras on road chanting dhandli dhandli but i can assure you PTI inki terah nae keregi hum boxes khol ker vote be dekhayenge or verify be kerwayenge rola nae daalenge 4 halqon per.

There's only one party who is master at crying dhandli dhandli after elections, and that's PTI. My bet is they will still be crying next five years after failing to win even this time. It will be hilarious, IK running alone in a race and still coming second

I have lost hope. Seen this drama so many times unfold over and over again. I don't give two hoots now what these duffer generals do to the country now. We, bloody civilians, should not have a say anyways and I don't care what happens. But to the rest of you, I wish a safe and pleasant future in the hands of Allama Khadim Rizvi

I had asked for proof, not hearsay. In either case, it goes to establish my point of how political engineering is carried out by those who should not be doing it.

25th july is not far away IK PM bane na bane apki PMLN muje rule kerti nazar nae aa rae its written on the wall.

I would much rather all political parties boycott these contentious elections...and let the "patriots" such as IK, Khadim Rizvi, PMLQ help establishment to complete the project "Baira Gharq of Pakistan"

The whole world is. You can't fool all the people all the time. Most neutral observers and international publishers incl. bbc, rt, nyt, dw, aljazeera a la. carry items daily on this fascist state of affairs in Pakistan. A soft coup is already in place, becoming joke of a country every day unfortunately.

Inshallah the pak fauj and establishment will help PTI win elections just like they have helped the Nooras multiple times before.

Meri taraf se ban hi jaye yeh PM aik dafa...kar le yeh bhi apna shauq poora. Aik saal baad jab yehi pak fauj apna qadri ya rizvi lashkar bheji gi Islamabad pe to pata chal jaye ga isse how ruthlessly he's been used as a tissue paper. At that time, someone else will be the new 'messiah'...my bet is on Mustafa Kamal

Yes, ignore the evidences of theft and blame the generals. I remember when we discussed this before, you wanted to wait until the court judgement but when it comes you still cant accept it. If you argue for the Generals to be brought to book, i am with you because its they,that have created criminals like NS through their patronage but deep down, you are more interested in saving NS, than you are in reforming the country.

Full PDF report for June 28-1 July nationwide opinion poll of Roshan Pakistan

https://roshanpakistanopinionpollin.../28-june-1-july-nationwide-opinion-poll-2.pdf

This looks very spot on I think. Even their seat projection at current point seems very close to accurate.

My predictions are very close to this, except I believe the tide is turning in favor of PTI on these last 2 weeks leading up to elections and I'm projecting anywhere close to 100-105 seats for PTI with Punjab going split between PTI and PMLN at close to 65~ a piece.

It's interesting how and who will form the next government because PTI could end up being the majority seats holder yet a lootmar PPP+PMLN still form a government with the help of any independents they can get.

For PTI, they are going to need MQMP, BAP, GDA, and independents to form a government which could actually be a very good government if it comes into being even without a clear cut majority.

If Ind can get around 20 MNA they will prove to be the kingmakers.

I respect that you demonstrate a difference of opinion. You are right in having misgivings about GHQ's involvement in political engineering because, in fact, the party you support was originally formed under the watch of an army dictator. Your beloved leader, Nawaz Sharif, was one of the many faces in the clique of sycophants nurtured by Zia. So, by extrapolation, you have reason to believe that every party that is appealing to mass populism is a product of deliberations in a GHQ conference room. Although that might not be the case.

You see, because, Nawaz never had to struggle in his political career. Muhammad Sharif had the right connections in the Zia dictatorship to kickstart his son's political career. Almost overnight, he went from a failed actor/cricketer/businessman to the CM of Punjab. Effectively a pliable pawn for the establishment to vanquish PPP in Punjab.

In contrast, Imran Khan had several easy pathways to take as a politician but he never took them because his was a genuine political struggle. He was offered a place in the king's party by Nawaz himself when he retired from cricket, he turned it down. Instead he formed the PTI in 1996 which failed miserably in next year's elections. He could have given in but he continued opposing the House of Sharif as Nawaz government harassed him and his family with false cases.

After the 2002 elections, he was offered a direct route to the post of PM by the dictator Musharraf. He declined on principle. Despite supporting him at the start (including on WoT), he saw the error of his ways and then opposed him on many forums which culminated in a jail term for him in 2007.

Again he boycotted the 2008 elections on principle while in the APDM alliance, which would have risked the integrity of his dwindling party. Meanwhile, one of the chief architects of the alliance, Nawaz Sharif, fell into the establishment's honey trap and contested the elections.

Then, Imran Khan singlehandedly revived PTI in in the 2013 elections. Despite the systemic irregularities and institutional favoritism stacked against his party, it emerged as the second largest in the country.

You can clearly see, with the contrast between Nawaz and Imran's political histories that who has been the real ladla and who has been at the forefront of a genuine political struggle in the country.

Didn't read after that

 

[awan_from_soon]

Didn't read after that

Of course. Now it is convenient for you to dissociate yourself from a party you had been propagating the rhetoric of.

Agenda of civilian supremacy from the mouth of NS is the biggest hypocrisy on the political landscape of Pakistan right now. His supporters/supporters of his narrative scurry away on the mention of his political history or deliberately misdirect when it is brought up. Furthermore, in the wake of recent events, they eschew its mention as they look at everything with the distorted lens of purportedly successful machinations of the deep state.

On a final note, there is a reason why Indian media has been so pro-PMLN/Nawaz and anti-PTI of late; see their coverage of yesterday's verdict. I hope you get a chance to read between the lines and introspect your ideological leanings.

I don't think in binaries. No body has ever denied NS (or for that matter Bhutto) being a beneficiary of military establishment. The only thing that matters to me is any voice that tries to break this nefarious hegemony of boots. If it's Nawaz's voice today: I will lend my support to it. When tomorrow IK eventually goes under the same knife I'll stand with him.

Thanks for the appreciation.

I am not preaching to anyone - just sharing my PoV. [MENTION=101697]LegendInzi[/MENTION] is well within his rights to have a different opinion than the majority in this thread - doesn't mean that we all have to agree with it, not post factual replies to it or resort to name-calling when things get heated.

 

[last_knight]

I like bursting the bubble of nanhe insafis...again this PTI circle-jerk is found wanting if someone raises any questions.

Do you realise there were very few insafis 10-15 years ago. Insafis of 2018 were noonies/jiyalas or neutral in 2008. Basically you can classify insafis as a group that wants to stand for its rights and against no-accountability. I think if PMLn/PPP were able to provide this atmosphere, there wouldn't have been exponential growth in support for PTI.
If PTI doesn't provide or fail to sustain this atmosphere, current group of insafis will happily quit supporting PTI, in fact they will oppose.

In a nutshell, More mature and more ethical Noonies/Jiyalas of past are now insafis.

The narrative of "Nawaz victimized for standing up against Establishment" may work if the audience is uneducated and has zero neurons and is in ones labour. It won't work when audience is free and conscious. Yes Nawaz has been victimized but not for standing up against establishment, he has been victimized for playing as pawn of international anti-pakistan powers (Dawn Leaks, Kulbhoshan etc). Corruption just helped the course, hence tag. We just have to decide on whose side we are, Pakistan or Individuals.
Some are able to decide quicker and better than others. Some others take time but eventually make the right decision. Still some others won't decide because they lack either the motivation or skill.

I respect you for this. We will all be with you if that happens.

At present, there is no factual evidence that points to that ever happening. Blaming the army is the swansong of Nawaz's political career. A final act that is diametrically opposed to the first. The drive of megalomania and air of invincibility he enjoyed has shattered and his mind cannot comprehend that infirm accountability institutions could have done that to him. He is paranoid and delusional right now with his narrative being actively shaped by Maryam. A lady who is probably still scarred by the boots as they came in the dark of the night and whisked them away to uncertainty.

If anyone is doing some binary thinking, it is Nawaz - and by extrapolation his supporters.

Even better than the number of people in the jalsa is the lone PTV mike on the rostrum here. I am really pleased that finally a lot more people will be able to listen to IK's message. People, who have been intentionally kept in the dark by a biased and hegemonic I&B ministry.

Wow Post of the week for me, couldn't have put it better myself!

While i respect they stand for civilian supremacy but quite shocking how they simply everything. Nawaz Sharif defines EVERYTHING wrong with Pakistan politics today but while they deny they support him, they support EVERYTHING he stands for. Imran Khan on the other hand is seen as a greedy person being favoured by everyone when fact is he struggled fir 22 years and NEVER went for any personal favours.

Quite shocking behaviour by these so called champions of democracy, disgusting and selfish!

Almost overnight, he went from a failed actor/cricketer/businessman to the CM of Punjab. Effectively a pliable pawn for the establishment to vanquish PPP in Punjab.

In contrast, Imran Khan had several easy pathways to take as a politician but he never took them because his was a genuine political struggle. He was offered a place in the king's party by Nawaz himself when he retired from cricket, he turned it down. Instead he formed the PTI in 1996 which failed miserably in next year's elections. He could have given in but he continued opposing the House of Sharif as Nawaz government harassed him and his family with false cases.

After the 2002 elections, he was offered a direct route to the post of PM by the dictator Musharraf. He declined on principle. Despite supporting him at the start (including on WoT), he saw the error of his ways and then opposed him on many forums which culminated in a jail term for him in 2007.

Again he boycotted the 2008 elections on principle while in the APDM alliance, which would have risked the integrity of his dwindling party. Meanwhile, one of the chief architects of the alliance, Nawaz Sharif, fell into the establishment's honey trap and contested the elections.

Then, Imran Khan singlehandedly revived PTI in in the 2013 elections. Despite the systemic irregularities and institutional favoritism stacked against his party, it emerged as the second largest in the country.

You can clearly see, with the contrast between Nawaz and Imran's political histories that who has been the real ladla and who has been at the forefront of a genuine political struggle in the country.

Wow Post of the week for me, couldn't have put it better myself!

While i respect they stand for civilian supremacy but quite shocking how they simply everything. Nawaz Sharif defines EVERYTHING wrong with Pakistan politics today but while they deny they support him, they support EVERYTHING he stands for. Imran Khan on the other hand is seen as a greedy person being favoured by everyone when fact is he struggled fir 22 years and NEVER went for any personal favours.

Quite shocking behaviour by these so called champions of democracy, disgusting and selfish!

Apparently for khooni liberals Imran Khan's oye is more dangerous for the country than the these convicted criminals and their looting.

[MENTION=142451]Mian[/MENTION] Lahore looks safer for Imran than Islamabad in the above survey. It is a bit confusing. Or may be surveyors could not get access to working middle class and college/uni going students in this constituency. Islamabad constituency definitely looks safer than Lahore constituency if we look at demographics and past results.

So I have noticed a trend in these surveys which aligns very much with where PTI's vote bank lies. Whenever the surveys have the number of younger(under 30 years) aged reponsders higher, the results come out in PTI's favor else PTI comes behind when the middle aged (30-50) and old(50+) group respondents are higher.

Another thing in PTI's favor will be higher turn out of voters. 55%+ voter turn out and PTI will win a higher number of seats.

I think they divide the age groups proportional to the age groups in the constituency, so the results coming out should be a fair reflection of the election day result.

Awesome. I'd take that right now.

This is kind of worrying at the moment. PTI needs more seats!

Still 2 weeks to go, I would expect this to rise by a few seats. Ideally, PTI needs at least 120 seats and Independents need to win 30+, only then will PTI be able to form Punjab government without needing PPP, TLP, etc.

Just to compare, this was the situation in 2013:

Just heard on the twitter verse that Billo Beta has cancelled his trip to Multan and is holed up with senior PPP members in a executive meeting chaired by His aba Ji, in Lahore. Ab bari hay teri zardari!
