Pmln is basically a middle class conservative party. It gathers its main strength from the trader community.Since the demise of PPP from Punjab the lower middle class has also joined its ranks.First of all, there will be no protest. PML-N lacks the street power and even the ability to mobilize any relevant challenge to the Government. Remember, the march to Lahore from Nawaz Sharif. Despite mobilizing the entire Punjab Government, barely anyone came out for Nawaz Sharif.
I think bottom line is, PML-N is history. All of their leadership is facing corruption charges and the people have seen how corrupt they are. I mean, Shahbaz Sharif used to call Zardari the biggest chor of Pakistan, but now calls him Daddy to save his own corruption. PML-N at best can win maybe 30-40 seats in the next election.
Along with street protests i also see shutdowns and lock downs in the offing from Pmln. With PPP blocking the Karachi ports,highways and train lines to the Punjab. With JUI with the madrassah power Islamabad paralysis looks likely.
Unlike PTI who had resources via KPK Govt,Establishment,ATMs and other massive donations,sustaining a prolonged protest by the opposition seems like a bridge too far yet.Unless Zardari or Sind Govt play some role as they did in Baluchistan and Senate elections.
