Senate Circus

Replacing one Baloch with another was apparently a balancing act but it turned into a horrendous circus act by the political thugs. Except some political face saving there was nothing in it. Equation of Senate was otherwise due to change in favor of the govt in next turn over. So for few months putting a Chairman Senate was a move made in despration which reflects political bankruptcy of opposition.
In retrospect, instead of fretting about loss in Senate, political thugs should have darned the hole in political process i.e secret ballot when they were in power to do that in past four decades. Despite their protracted tag team rule over this country, thugs in opposition looked small in front of thugs in power. Politics is among the noblest of professions but our politicians have turned it in to pooh. To Govt coalition, those brave fourteen are روشن ضمیر and for combined opposition they are ضمیر پروش. Truly, an insult to party based politics, as PM put it in his 'victory' Tweet, but its quite naive of him as he is Chief Executive of the country & he is pretending nothing has happened or at least he has nothing to do with shady Senate circus. Whereas, his big mouthpieces are celebrating this as their greatest success. Our messy politics just got messier.
Anyway, way forward would be that all these political thugs should immediately legislate this secret ballot out of Senate election process. However, they will keep harping about dishonesty of fourteen or their miraculous enlightenment between show of hands in favor of the motion & casting the secret vote behind the curtain.
But they wouldn't change the law of secret ballot. They just love bickering because its easy & they abhor legislation because it takes some doing.
Politics today has achieved her highest low.
