I agree, that is how people should show they’re angry, at the ballot box. I sense that is why the elections are being delayed because the PML-N can read the writing on the wall and know they are about to be wiped out.
In the US alot changed on the ground when the parties knew it was about getting out the vote. Turnout makes the difference.
In Pakistan, from what I have heard, people traditionally vote for the same person as whom their elders have been telling them to vote for. The youth in Pakistan is a massive, and I hope the PTI has a strategy to appeal to the elders to vote PTI or at least let their youth vote their choice, because it is the future of the youth most at stake.
Secondly, the PTI needs a facts and figures plan for economic reform and job creation. For far too long politicians have asked for people to sacrifice in hopes of a brighter day. If PTI plans the same it needs to line up FDI and signed contracts for investments should they return to power.
Third, the myth of Nawaz as the industrialist needs to be broken with a documentary and expose of how he made his wealth and what sweetheart deals he got that helped him get where he has gotten.
Finally for the “Biryani crowd”; PTI needs to line up meals to outcompete and outspend the PML-N politicians that buy votes with food. Fight food with food. A lot of elections campaigns around the world come down to who outspends the other guy. If this is the currency and state of Pakistani elections, so be it, PTI will have to be prepared to play this game as well.
