Good work and presentation.
Representation is on the basis of population and their contribution.
The worst injustice in Pakistan is done to Karachi. The city which provides 65%
revenue and tax of the country has its population halfed with active CONNIVANCE between Establishment, Punjab, and Racist SINDH PPP and deprived seats in NA like done in IOK.
Last chance we have faith in Imran Khan and PTI. If Karachi put against the wall one more time, Karachi will react.

Imran Khan presented the best solution for Karachi............ He said, PTI will introduce new LBS (Local Body System) where the CITY MAYOR will be directly elected by public votes with most of the Baldiyati Departments under his control... like KMC .. KBCA... KWSB.. KDA.. KE... etc etc....

Yes, he understands how cities and countries should run.
He is last hope for JUSTICE to Karachi.

Compare him with Nikka Zardari, Sharifs, Zardaris.
If you ask them what is Greenhouse Effect they will say vegetables grown in a green house.
 
OPTION 1 - CURRENT SYSTEM :

Currently we are habving FPTP System (First Past the Post). Means Whoever wins the most number of votes, wins the Constituency... Doesn't matter if the WINNER gets 30% votes and his "divided opponents" gets 70% because the opponents were divided...


OPTION 2 - PROPORTIONATE REPRESENTATION SYSTEM :

Means if a Party wins 40% popular votes, the party gets 40% allocated. MNAs will be automatically elected as per the Priority List which each Party submits to the ECP before Elections.. Exactly the way WOMEN MNAs are automatically gets elected from each Province as per the given Priority List of Party.


OPTION 3 - TWO ROUND SYSTEM / MAJORITY VOTE :

In this system, Candidate has to obtain at least 50% of the votes from whatever constituency he / she is contesting. In case of all candidates (in the respective constituency) fails to obtain 50% Votes, then 2nd round will be held among the TOP 2 candidates.... Having 2nd Round, might increase the overall cost of Elections..

Well census didnt happen and IK was weak PM so he didnt go to do governor raj
 
Would also like if we could get.....
1. Foreign Pakistan voting rights
2. Karachi and Lahore as their own states ( like newyork )


1. The issue of Overseas Voting Rights has been heavily politicized .... I remember Benazir was too in-favor of giving rights to Overseas Pakistanis, but Zardari League seems not interested for this....

2. Issue of having Karachi & Lahore as Independent cities, will not going to work because neither Noon League for Lahore... nor Sindhi Nationalists will accept this...
 
In PROPORTIONATE REPRESENTATION SYSTEM - if a Party wins 40% popular votes, that party gets 40% allocated seats in the Assembly. MNAs will be automatically elected as per the Priority List which each Party submits to the ECP before Elections.. Exactly the way in current scenario WOMEN MNAs are automatically gets elected from each Province as per the given Priority List of Party.
