Nice. I hope Patwari commissioner hasn't done anything controversial now
 
They should get rid of all reserved seats. I don't see the point.
 
What a travesty of justice, 21 seats for a population of 30 million in Karachi...and the establishment's fat cats like Zardari enjoying 40 seats of interior Sindh with a population of 27 million...
 
Why NA seats reduced when population is increasing? Also whats the use of so many reserve seats?? Those are mostly given to dumb chamchas who then become eligible for ministries. Its better to impose quota on parties to field female candidates for election, like every party should give 20℅ or 30℅ tickets to female. This reserve seat system is stupid.

Exactly. People come or reserve seat and then go against party lines, take example of Ayesha gulalai, and current PTI dissidents specially the one currently acting as opposition leader.
