Having certain people from different ethnicity within the party does not make it a national party. PMLN has its vote bank in Punjab and it is 90% chance that if you are voting PMLN you are likely to be from Punjab or PPP sindh. Also MQM has had people like Nabeel Gabol who are Sindhi and some politicians who are pathan. That does not change the fact that it is an ethnic party with a vote bank of a particular ethnic group. The difference is that a lot of Karachites are rising up to condemn the terrorist activities of MQM while despite these positive changes of ethnicity being put on the backburner in these provinces people of Punjab feel that there is too much ethnic chauvinism in the rest of the country which leads to Punjabis losing out and they are being more ethnically chauvinisitic. I mean how can you vote for a party like PMLN knowing it is corrupt and a son of Zia Ul Haq?Favourite arguments of Karachi muahjirs is to say look N is ethnic party like MQM. When the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Here is the difference, no punjabi, baloch and sindhi in MQM and ANP. In N league there are members from every corner of Pakistan, they most have missed N league ethnic manifesto.
Reality is PPP, N and now PTI are only true mainstream parties in this country. They may make governments in certain provinces and not others but that doesn't make them ethnic.
