So now we know what IK means when he speaks about “change”. He means that EVERY ol’ and tested politician would be CHANGING his/her party to PTI.

This is awfully short for a blog, and I got to comment lengthier on it. Globally, and perhaps more so in the sub-continent that you have the privilege of belonging to, politics tends to move the way the wind or the current does across the Indus. And that maybe is forgivable on the individuals so changing party affiliations. Unfortunately, there can be two diametrically contradictory views on this: one is, consistency is the virtue of the jackass, as GK Chesterton said, I think. The other is that, like Tony Blair said well before he became PM of Britain, unless and until someone comes into the seat of power, they most certainly cannot bring to fruition the larger interests of the people whom they ostensibly represent. This scenario has already been witnessed in the large lumbering country to Pakistan’s East, over two decades ago.
IK can usher in a government that can start with a clean slate, and there apparently is a wave that may well bring it to the helm. What the aam aadmi of PK would do well to keep in mind, is that he and his fellow-travellers would hold no magic-wands for a cure-all for the many common issues that need to be attended to. The last resort would still be the one first enunciated by the founder of PK, which is “kaam, kaam, aur sirf kaam”

Jones sahib, you are right. But actually in case, if it hasnt come into your notice, I have been avoiding posting on political issues for quite a long time. But at times, the obsession with politics makes me utter stuff, in liners, so that was the case here.
However, I quite liked your analysis. And I find GK’s liner quite ironic here.
