This form of democracy is a failure. Martial laws have been failures too.
We need a new system. Blaming army for failures of politicians is a torn drum now.
We need to look at either the Iranian or Chinese systems or both.
Absolute power should not be in the hands of one person, be it the PM or the dictator. And we can't afford snakes in our system either. Major surgery required.
Unlike Chinese, Iranian, Marshal Law, democracy does take inputs from the civilians. That's why democracy has strong history in many nations, played vital roles in many nations. USA didn't built in a day. Similarity, it will take time for Pakistan to get there, but Pakistan will get there.
In the past, politics was considered as taboo, but today, people thinking are changing gradually and the newer generation are getting involved in the politics. In the future, it will be their calls that with the inputs of civilians march the progress ahead. Today is small price to pay for the foreseeable future. Democracy has to survive. It is only platform where civilians can voice their inputs.
