Prime minister Gilani to be replaced by a more capable politician

[lem34]

Zardari is an american puppet that has invested his ill gotton gains in America. if he was to seriously go after them they would freeze his assets in america.

Pakistan and India both have the same kind of parliamentary democracy inherited from the British. Application may differ but the structure is the same.

But in India president is just for namesake with constitutional rights but no practical power. But in Pakistan president has a big role to play as well as PM. Isn't it confusing who is the real head of state with all powers, I mean like PM in India.

It is time for another person now to come and loot.....because PPP got power and who knows they will come in power in future........so that's why they are rotating the chair......that everybody in party must get something and loot this country and fill their foreign accounts........They just want to make every worker of the party happy.

before kargil, pakistani gov system was exactly the same as india's.
you may remember that nawaz sharif was the prime minister at that time and he had most of the power..
but it has changed now, president has the power

So Musharraf changed it and Zardari is practicing it. I think Pakistan should go back to original. Its the best way.

No technically primeminister of pakistan is more powerful. Zardari changed it back, however by the virtue that Zardari controls the ppp he could have gillani kicked out so suppose prime minister is more powerfull than president however gillani is a puppet of zardari so he has mor power by virtue of his power in ppp which btw has no internal democracy because it was passed to him bb will. Sad way to run things. bit of a sham democracy. Same with India that India is run by an italian woman. lol

You can call Your president or PM American puppet or anything else you want but do not degrade India's. Sonia Gandhi is Indian and she never lost in an election by the votes of the people. I repeat by the votes of Indians not Italians nor any army generals nor any dictators.

No intention to degrade Sonia Gandhi, but the analogy is perfect. In your case its a widow, in our case its a widower. Imagine if Sonia Gandhi was also the president of India, she would have all the power, even though contitutional powers rest with Manmohan Singh.

No its not , in fact its the opposite -- because the president's powers are constitutional( de jure) while PM exerts de facto power --In fact not even the PM solo but the Cabinet as a whole.

Sonia Gandhi being the chief of the congress is why she exerts power . The reason why such a person of a particular party's high echelons , will always be unsuited as president.President in India is chosen as a politically neutral person , and the post is ceremonial in nature.

So who has de facto power in India, and who should have it according to the constitution?

 

[Jango]

gilani is much better than zardari or rehman malik, atleast he does something right, although a more capable person should be found

According to the constitution and also practically , its the PM and his cabinet who has de -facto power in running the country while Sonia Gandhi - has power over running the governing " party" .

All issues of corruption , refusal of the PM to act against ministers ( from co-alition parties ) , disclose the assets of Congress ministers ..which makes all of us view MMS as a weak PM is because , he is no "politician" in the strict sense of the word .

He is a celebrated economist ( with great knowledge of how the Indian economy stands today and the way forward at the moment) , and a student of foreign policy and diplomacy.

The internal politics is played out by Sonia Gandhi and heavy weights like Pranab Mukherjee and Chidambaram. In this respect MMS has no power to wield , its not his playing field.

Hope this clears things a bit.

pack of lies nothing else

 

[Evil Flare]

PM is the most powerful .. president has no power now after 18th amendment .

The real question is who is that capable person in the eyes of America even after Zardari.My bet would be Aswand Yar.
