A snapshot of the 4 provincial assemblies. There is a common theme or similarity in all of them and that is a very high number of feudals a.k.a agriculturalists, landlords and businesspersons, this trend explains who wins or who has the resources to contest the elections in Pakistan. And this something the Civil Society should counter. These patterns are pretty raw and jagged in nature, but they do exist and are observable. And this seems like the major reason, inequality is prevailing in Pakistan.

I was getting bored and bothered by this concept
of electables, did some surfing, and came up this
rant!
You can see a pattern, every assembly thrives on Landlords, Bussinesspersons, Agriculturalists and
politicians (I can't understand how being a politician is an occupation) followed by Lawyers and then
come the Mango people, the Social workers, Educationists, etc, I think these are inducted just to soothe
the urban population or they are ideological supporters of the party.
If we observe closely we can observe that these lists are incomplete i.e. the data provided on the
provincial websites is missing certain numbers, for e.g. the Sindh Assembly has 168 members but the
occupation of only 114 is listed, same is the case with the Punjab Assembly which houses 371 members
but data of only 287 members is listed. Out of 65 members only 50 have shared the data of their
occupation and in KPK assembly out of 124 data of 120 is available (3 seats of KPK were already
vacant)
And we have this concensus that landlords, agriculturalists are capitalists and conservative in
nature, these are the real electable of Pakistan!
It doesn't matters which political party they belong to, they share similar, goals and ambitions and
as far as I think so, their aims and objectives aren't aligned with the aims and objectives of the
masses.
And I wonder what we can do to oust them?
