The best way to manage political un reset is to make sure that political parties conduct annual elections and family at large can't be at the helm for more than a year. Interesting yet is the fact that the self proclaimed educated party members continue to rally and support
Dynastic politics. Nothing has been more responsible for the regression of the nation more than this singular unfortunate two party system for decades & now the suffering will continue for the awaam at the hands of the kids of the same leeches who have economically done us in
More fascinating is the support and endorsement 60+ yr old party members continue to give pea brained harbingers of the next generation. No better self serving insurance scheme than in Pakistan where the people pay the premium of the destruction these charlatans bring.
For a young nation young representation is key. Make it mandatory for the party to have 30% women and 50% membership to be under 40. This is the only way we will ever experience change else we will be led by a circus of 342 opportunists who have perfected being untouchable
How u ask? Look at their tax returns. Most pay less than a middle class salaried Pakistani. Per capita we are governed by those who don't pay taxes on land as they declared agriculture tax free, they collect subsidies on those lands & farming.Every 1s a Harvard level entrepreneur
Because they write the rules that benefit them. They control land parcels and the people that come with them. They ensure the youth don't get access to education so they can use their land and people grab to continue to be voted into the circus of life called govt.
It's a circus because it's not fair and a show. Some thing that's scripted and no one without generational access land or tax chori can make it through. Perhaps only exception are the religious parties who run on a different mandate. Again the similarity is controlling minds
Vs controlling or delivering outcomes for people. It's all ideology driven because we have kept the masses poor, un educated and governed by fear and jagirdari and subaydari systems. With the rising tide of the youth & access to the outside world via the internet things won't be
Easy for the incumbents. Oppression and suppression may have worked with their parents but sooner rather than later injustice, control and lack of jobs will create an implosion that may start to erode the foundation of unfair capital & wealth distribution & thus lead to
A chance where political outcomes and alignments change. We are ways away from all that. On one end we want to increase exports in tech and textiles but on the other hand we cant seemingly tax any one out of karachi or already in the tax net. Tax is optional in
The rest of Pakistan. This whole land mafia allows massive politically ill-gotten money to be channeled via land holdings which the tax man can't go after. You want one segment of society to pay for the ills of one policy change, ala tax that can change the fortune of this land.
Who will decide to make broad based tax reform. 4 fbr chiefs and counting. As we focus on growing biz we must focus on growing the tax base. This is easy from the outside but since it directly impacts most if not all parliamentary folks it likely ain't happening.A word to the IMF
Should u be interested in knowing a little secret after billions of dispensed loans.Make this a pre condition. Land reform and tax reform of your next engagement with the country. Likely the last time govt comes for a loan but if u had our growth interest at heart vs not ud do it
The fault in our stars is that our stars sadly are not scientists and researchers and outstanding people from education/academia but instead it's the same genetic profile of political mutants whose rocket proof cars the system rallies behind. True progress will be when leaders
Don't need those cars and can engage with their constituents in person vs bullet proof glass. That class of politician and political movements aren't there yet. Till there is a systemic clean up of the pea brained IQ that runs out parliamentary systems and the babus that benefit
Not much will change. It seems we have been solving for the wrong problem. The real exam question to fix this for the tax paying awam to demand tax reform for the political class. That's the first step. Also publish the income statement of every law maker online + link their
And their families social media profiles for all to watch. Kissing babies and calling on the sick by day and hashtaging their private plane rides by night #blessed. Truly social media will eventually be the equalizer when every one sees the life of the rich and tax chor mafia
Nothing will change till we the tax payers rally behind structural tax reform to have the missing generation of political self interest be added to the list. Just like ECL was a thing TEL(tax evader list) should be a thing to regulate the un regulated who continue to burden us
Economically and by a lack of governance and growth agenda. The only way this changes if we decide that it should and work towards it. Not easy but it starts with reforms that start with watching zero political TV shows & banning these idiots on TV & making 60% education content
All dreams from a distant land but all great things start from a dream. Let us dream to take back our country for our youth and enhance their outcomes as citizens of the globe who are respected and revered vs ridiculed and written off. The choice is ours. Only if we choose to
Every culture has some ritual for joining two people together and making them stay that way, and ours is giving tax breaks to those in power. @rebootdude @raza_matin @babushka99 @fmsheik @Huk06 @jehan_ara @afiasalam @FaizaYousuf @YusufJan @rogueonomist
