@Scandinavian, My question you and IK,why is IK a unsuccessful in Pakistani politics, what is it that, that is not allowing him to mobilize the masses. He has the right credentials, come from the most populous province of Pakistan with Pathan roots and warrior instinicts, has led from the front on more than one occasion, in sports and otherwise. His integrity is unquestionable, his services for establishment of the only cancer prevention, cure and research institution has won him accolades from all irrespective of political affiliation . He is educated at Oxford, the mass and social media favours him more then any one else ... on paper he has all the boxes ticked...and 16 years is enough a time to establish yourself a political personality, specially when you had been an established entity even before you entered politics...you had aspired and were even offered to be the PM since the days of Zia.
It is "my opinion" that it is easy to be on the outside and be critical, spread despondency and despair. IK's inconsistencies dealing with democrats, dictators, and establishment put a question mark on his credibility. His ambiguities and his unclear stand on terrorism, spread of militancy, talibanization, and the kind of Pakistan he sees is not comforting to the masses.
In my opinion, what "The People" of Pakistan need is also a bit of hope and solutions, positivity. Do not just keep criticizing Zardari, Nawaz Sharif & Co., please give a roadmap and a manifesto , introduce your team that would represnt you in Parliament, connect with the rural masses...If Zulfikar Ali Bhutto can do it so can you specially with all the technological advancements to spread the message and media coverage that IK has...ZAB did it when there was no television, or Internet because he had a vision, a manifesto and a solution, and he connected with 80% of Pakistan that lived in villages and sadly still does ..
