In my opinion the best way out of this would be if IK manages to save face, or atleast make a deal with the government. I don't want IK to completely be kicked out of politics. Even though he is a bit on the wild side and not really good at politics, his Ideology and aims are not wrong and he has a supporter base. He acts as a good counterbalance to the PMLN government. As you said, PPP is practically dying. Now we don't want Nawaz and co. to grow wings without fear of other parties capitalizing on their mistakes and/or moves. PTI can serve the purpose of a counterbalance, they need to grow stronger (through peaceful methods of course, just as soon as IK realises that he lost the battle of the dharna).Good night to you too.
IK had a very good opportunity the day he got to Islamabad. They offered him all 5 conditions met without NS's resignation. Had he taken it, he'd have become the "boogy man" for the government with "unchallenged power" and everything was peaceful of course so even nationally, he'd have grown his vote bank like crazy.
But, he showed his true thick minded colors when he became stubborn and tried to get it all and got into attacking the Parliament and all. His political career is over IMO. This is history. May be someone else from his party needs to come forward and create a fresh image. But IK's got no face saving (Even though knowing NS, I know he'll give IK some face saving as he's nice. He gave IK the government of KPK too, he didn't have to). But IK's not a politician, he's just someone who can be aggressive without understanding the diplimatic negotiator side of it. And he's definitely no businessman or expert on the economy. Globally, he's now seen as someone with the same insane values and harshness like extremists in Pakistan. So his party needs a new face or something. IK won't cut it anymore as a leader. Good night, we'll debate this later.
