the only party today (and im predicting this based on present scenarios) which is capable of running pakistan and managing it is MQM, and which is one a right path, and they have all the eagerness and dedication to do it but the pity on Pakistan that MQM is very much hated and misunderstood and pakistanis are not eager to learn anything about MQM and they are more eager to believe in cospiracy theories about MQM
yes MQM has handled its own PR very badly also that they never rise themselves above their limited scope of matters beyonf nine zero and khursheed begum secretariat, media is also playing a huge role in doing very negative PR of MQM, i don't know how the media strategy will be over turned atleast if not in MQM favour but in a neutral manner from biased manner, but i can't complain media as well because pakistani nation needs to hear and see bad about MQM, they are not interested in its organisation and management and capabilities and talents, media is feeding pakistan what they demand
for the foreseeable future i don't see MQM to become a major party to be honest, and i don't blame pakistanis, MQM itself has to be blamed for it, because they seem not interested to go beyond their areas to explore new territories, they are just running a system in begum khursheed secretariat and they are not even interested to seek authority to govern karachi, so i don't think they have any interest into the matter of taking their organisation beyond the limited scope of the state of matters
i have tried to understand every party from PTI to PMLN and PPP, all in a neutral manner even JI and ANP, and even though i have appreciated all the prominent characteristics of these parties i have come to the conclusion that at present only MQM can run Pakistan successfully, if not, i don't think anybody else in a democratic setup will be able to do so, if some another political force arises, or if the existing parties like PMLN/PTI/PPP change themselves thats another matter.
Negative.
A dictator is needed.
well a dictator came 3 times but the thing is dictator never addressed the very core issues of Pakistan (feudalism, education, the extremism of pakistanis, religious intelorance, never tried to strengthen the base of pakistani society), thats because a dictator can even though run a country in his some what organised way, he has no vision, no future understanding, has personal interest as well, a dictator may succeed in some areas, might fail in others
