Developing Pakistan: Minority rule 


by Miguel Loureiro

Why is Musharraf in power? It isn’t because of his political skills, it isn’t because of his socio-economic skills, and it definitely isn’t because Pakistanis love military dictators. It’s because he promised Pakistanis (and “the West”) an enlightened and moderate state

Do you know what is a legislative election? It’s a process by which the citizens of a country (i.e. the people) select the people (or political parties) they wish to represent them in a legislative assembly (e.g. the National Assembly). In other words, the people choose a party that will then create laws for improving their country and their lives.

Do you know which party won the last (2002) legislative elections in Pakistan? Well, according to the official results PPPP got 25.8 percent votes, PML-Q got 25.7 percent, independent candidates got 14.1 percent, the MMA got 11.3 percent, PML-N got 9.4 percent, and so on. So that means that the citizens of Pakistan (the ones that voted) chose first the PPPP to create laws, second the PML-Q, third the independent candidates and fourth the MMA.
