Historically progressive, Pakistan’s bourgeoisie has compromised with imperialism and feudal/tribal elements, with almost all political parties in Pakistan run like feudal estates. The basic ingredient of any functioning democracy, the present form of elections has reduced the Parliament to a mere ritual-like exercise with those elected considering power a free licence to loot, plunder and oppress the people for the next five years. Direct Vote and Democracy, “other than bad advice our political leadership depends upon ‘special interest groups’ (and individuals) for survival once they are in office rather than on the electorate that voted them into office.” Accountability being the touchstone of democracy, consider the public apathy towards rampant nepotism and corruption, resigning us to tolerate the blatantly corrupt as the ‘guardians of democracy’.
