Loved your post !! And yes, you're right, it was Achilles Heel, and not Hercules. With children jumping around all over in house, it is kind of tough to focus on Siasat.pk posts (bigsmile)
Per Constitution, the Senate shall consist of 104 members:
(a) 14 shall be elected by the members of each Provincial Assembly
(if lucky, PTI can get 14 senators from KPK)
(b) 8 shall be elected by direct and free vote from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, in such manner as the President may, by Order, prescribe
(c) 2 on general seats, and 1 woman and 1 technocrat including
aalim shall be elected from the Federal Capital in such manner as the President orders
(d) 4 women shall be elected by members of each Provincial Assembly (if lucky,
PTI can get 4 more female senators - will fauzia kasuri be one of them?)
(e) 4 technocrats including
ulema shall be elected by the members of each Provincial Assembly (if lucky,
PTI can get 4 more senators)
(f) 1 seat in the senate is reserved for minorities in each province. (if lucky,
PTI can get 1 more senator)
Total PTI senators in IDEAL case scenario: 23
This is why Zardari got rid of PTI members from Sindh, so that now PMLN can kick all of the PTI from NA and Punjab. Then PMLN can form alliance with JUI-F and (probably JI or ANP) in KPK and then oust PTI government, BEFORE the Senate Elections !!
Unbiased Comments from experienced members about this HYPOTHETICAL scenario are appreciated!
Sorry BUT you have NO idea how senators are actually elected THERE are currently NO PTI members of the Senate and members of NA CANNOT be elected Senators !!!
(either that is a new kind of medicine) OR
I think you mean ACHILLES HEEL
Totally different character to Hercules and his heel was fine
:)
But your posts prove one thing, who needs knowledge or understanding to comment on Pak Politics.
A big mouth is sufficient
