Great program and some home truths about what democracy requires to work and the responsibility from the common man. The money spent on advertising when running for elections is a waste and better to give this money to a charitable cause. Also makes it fair for the common person to run for elections and have a chance of winning.

Question for honorable MNA,

Have you set an example for the rest of us by picking up a banana peel from the street yourself, even for a television camera show off?

Party party party! Why we have to compare parties. Do they select their candidates with our input? There is a saying that Pakistani party affiliates will give votes to a “dog” if it gets a party ticket. There is actually a prime example in today’s government. My primary responsibility is to vote for a candidate who will represent my issues better than others. Party affiliation is secondary.

Ali, part of voice-production was very good (around minute 20). But I could not understand your mentioning of LA Time reporter’s quote. Even after replaying it. Can someone type it here?

I feel like alot of politician talk good but then when it comes to performing on the grounds, nothing happen! I wish things change and well! yeah! new people should come to politics but then there aren’t opportunities and incentives for the youth to come in politics. Like, Politics now is considered a degraded field at least in Pakistan.

Lets not forget we cannot have a better Pakistan unless and until we get rid of extremism. Abundant security check posts, the collapse of infrastructure and other aspects of life that are being hurt directly by the militancy need to minimize. I like the part where he says that youth is a pillar for the future if Pakistan and truly so.
