With compliment to General Azam: WE  NEED  MORE  PROVINCES -- TO REDUCE CORRUPTION & IMPROVE  GOVERNANCE !!!

Pakistan is the "Highly Centralized Fraud Democracy" of the World where One PM and 4 CMs Control the whole wealth of the country. Rest have no powers but subservient. See attached analysis. 

Pakistan's fraud democracy and electoral system has to be changed before any new election. This 1850s colonial power launched system will NEVER change things for Pakistan. 80% villagers are at the mercy of local police and jagirdars.

The only way to move forward is: change of system by force. 

Any assembly under current system will not vote for any positive change. 

​A

s I personally told Dr. Qadri face to face & sent PTI e-mails

​, ​

Dharna should have demanded the following :

1. Creation of 6000 City Governments with full powers like Turkey's 3000, China's 47,000 and USA's 19,700. Proportionaltely Pakistan needs 6000. 

2. Presidential System with direct vote. While all ministers be picked on merits.

3. Pakistan has 30 divisions and 5 admin units - be converted into admin provinces - elected governor & no CMs (No world democracy but India with few has CMs and ministers - A big expense)

In current system IK will have difficult chance because of rural vote, who rule cities as CMs and Ministers and destroy the. Karachi is best example of not have core of dmocracy: City Government not Baldiati Minister. Pak democracy had manufacturing defect and well not progress even in the nest 70 years under current system. 

Creation of 6000 Powerful City Governments, Presidential System and 35 Administrative Units are the only Solutions for Governance and Economic Development of Pakistan. An International Comparative Analysis with Centralized Pakistani Democracy Abstract: Pakistan’s resources and potential are underutilized and mismanaged. GDP Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) should have been $2 Trillion+. Pakistan is the only country with four provinces when compared with rest of the world. It has not changed 1850s British system which does not even exist even in UK. Analysis given below reflects how disconnected Pakistanis are from reality. Solutions: Three levels of elected offices for better governance to serve people and to solve problems are best for Pakistan: Mayor – Governor – President. There are 30 Divisions of Pakistan and 5 administrative areas, be converted into 35Admin Units, while City Governments be established immediately. There are 19,429 municipal governments in the United States. Many small towns use the council-manager system (most counties have this system) China has 47,000 large & small City Governments, and Turkey has 2950 Mayors. Almost all large cities in the USA, EU, China, and many parts of the world have strong mayor systems. China, USA, and many countries have provinces, counties, cities or municipalities and towns or villages. Abolish provincial ministries & save billions.

Pakistan Defense forces in each division can be used for infrastructure development like China and the USA did. Elected Mayors should be responsible for development, education, security and growth. Legislative body should have no role in administration.
