@FOOLS_NIGHTMARE I will pay you to make this thread if your Maryam Qatari is not paying you for this
Supremely unlikely, anyone telling you this is has never read a poll and doesn’t know how election arithmetic plays out in Pakistan. The two recent governments were formed with less than 40% of the vote.
Electoral politics in Pakistan is weird- you can 100% of the NA seats with less than 40% of the votes on a split field. Punjab is case in point, in 2013, PMLN swept the field 166/272 with what was only 32% of the votes.
Yup, I’ve been railing against this same system in the past. It’s called FPTP, same system in place in the UK. It works fine if you only have two very large parties, but for Pakistani politics it allows regional parties to sweep locally and national parties to be underrepresented. I suggested on the forum a few times that PTI for their own sake should get rid of it, but it’s a lot easier said than done given our structural setup.
Electoral Patwarism. In 1997 elections PMLN got 2/3 majority in NA with this corrupt electoral system. PPP got only 18 seats despite taking 21 percent of total vote

The point is that it is possible for PTI to ride the current wave and get 2/3rds in NA in the election if they get 40% of the vote which is likely. Even if they do, they will also need to sweep the provincial houses of atleast three provinces to get the 2/3rds they require in the senate and that will require them to hold the provincial assemblies for 5 years (the next two senate elections). So we won’t be looking at constitutional amendments until 2028 anyways under ideal circumstances.
Because 2/3rds in NA will not be enough for structural changes anyways
Ideally I would go for proportional representation as it is the most common electoral system in democracies. However in 2018 elections there wasn't much difference between total votes for PTI and PMLN thus such system would never produce stable govts in Pakistan due to almost the same seat allotment based on total number of votes
