@Z : well said.
@ Naseer: Secular and PTI/ PML-N don't go together. Both are right wing parties. Just making you aware. Many people get easily confused by the slogan of change.
I'm sorry Imran Khan that you wasted 17 years of your precious life on this country. We don't deserve a leader like you. You're ahead of your time. But thank you for every thing! You've been a real source of inspiration, but unfortunately the majority of the populace doesn't view you the same way. We still vote for corrupt and incompetent leaders. The rigging has really left me depressed, it just shows how easily people are willing to sell their future for some easy money. I'm just at a loss of words to be honest...and a bit helpless.

Are they counting polls or reading letters ?
Dear Pakistan thank you for showing real courage today and voting for democracy. As a British Pakistani I'm very proud today. I'm looking forward to Pakistan becoming a progressive, secular modern state just like Jinnah had envisaged.
