a very interesting question indeed...

it seems to be part of the plan that has been there in place to convince Pakistani masses that all this election, ``jamhooriyat`` and such stuff is not a solution for them. They may cast their votes if they are so idealistic, or have nothing better to do, the results would still be what the ruling elite have already decided.

Josef Stalin supposedly said that it is not important who has the right to cast a vote or who actually casts votes. What is important is who gets to count those votes.
