They named their political movement, the PDM, the so called “Pakistan Democratic Movement”, in the Orwellian fashion that should have been expected. A more honest moniker would have been the “
Pakistan Degenerate Movement”.
With no interest to actually govern, everything they have touch has only gotten worse. The worst part is their failure to reflect back upon their failings and seek a course correction. They always said IK did U-turns, but ironically that proves IK has independent thought (Even if he made mistakes, he attempted to try and learn and improve), unlike their dogmatic adherence to failed policies and politicians, decade after decade. Dynasties rather than being the ships of stability they like to present themselves as, are in fact the albatross around the nation’s necks, acting like an anchor dragging the nation under the waves of political and economic stability.
The core reason for their failures is probably because they are incompetent, and don’t care if everyone knows it. Only their ill gotten wealth is there to prop their appeal up.
Would the crowds come if it was just their party slogans? Or is it patronage politics and quid pro quo, leveraging elite capture to fund their chosen beneficiaries to the detriment of the masses. Case in point, Pakistan only spends $300 million a year on education for a nation of 230+ million.
The great Roman stoic philosopher, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, better known as Seneca once said:
“That Man is a weakling and a degenerate who struggles and maligns the order of the universe and would rather reform the gods (sic) than reform himself.”
