Hello again..
First a recap on my last article...
It was heartening to know that I didn't just have a smelly nose after all 😛
Something WAS fishy! *pats his nose* It's good to have a good nose, don't u think 😉
Here is another related observation. Only one of the two blood-brothers got 'da kick'. One wonders if one was smelly, the other would be too! After all they had been together all along 🙂
One plausible reason could be that the focus of this election was to get Mr Hammas the party leadership and probably the other party didn't get into the limelight. The people at helm of affairs know it better than me that even one PTO'r can create havoc!
I'd leave it to that...
Now, on to the next observation (btw, no i am not in GEO, though i have a feeling i would do well with 'em 😉
Lately there has been a trend of choosing party names very close to that of RL parties in Pakistan. This could be (and has been) a source of friction among ePakistanis. We should remember that we have a very small population and we cannot afford to have any friction among our citizens. While we all may have very strong affiliation with a certain party RL, it'd be wise, in my opinion, to keep that affiliation out of the game.
A case in point is that of Mr Khurram. I saw him very active during the presidential campaign for PP and it was heartening to see his vigour. But when there was news (rumour ?) of the name changing to 'Tehreek e Insaf', he was pretty vocal about his dislike towards TeI. Now, the question arises, what advantage, if any, can PP get from changing its name to TeI and more so, is that advantage worth losing a staunch supporter like Mr Khurram?
I cannot answer that... only those in PP know best.
Recently there was another change in party name to 'PML'. Although one could say the acronym stands for something different, but the party symbol and the letters PML evince undeniable affiliation of party president towards RL PML.
Whether it's worth the friction it might cause or not, let the leadership and party members decide... I am here to give my take on that.
My advice would be to keep our RL political affiliations out of the game. Maybe eUS or some big countries can afford that. But they have huge populations and they can afford some unwarranted dislike. We as ePakistanis, with our active population of around 100, sure cannot.
Besides i LOVED the names 'Pro Pakistani' and 'Where's the Party' !.. didn't you 🙂
Till the next time...
P.S I would LOVE my fellow countrymen be critical of my views. I thrive on criticism (constructive or otherwise). Besides having everyone agree is rather boring 😛

You just lost The Party.
Real men name their parties after JJBA serials.
Vote for me!
They took our job!!
Very nicely written, Ahsan talked with me after he first changed the name of party. I told him if they make new parties with RL political party names, I 've no problem with that. But I 'd not let PP chanege it's name. The point is we must stay unite and when we 're bigger enough then we can make such changes.
lets like forget new parties? we've already got TOO many parties for the number of citizens we have. I'm fine with only PP and VA 🙂
MaverQ - Pro Pakistan Party Short is PPP if you havent Notice it will be an absured relating it to RL Political Party of the same abbreviation. Secondly the Dio Brando itself is a RL character Borrowed into the game with its mythology. The point is people adopt their thinking from the real world and fictionalize it. PML might have abbreviation similar to that of an RL political Party but it does not aim to create any RL issue over here, issues are only created if we want to create issues... Party Names are being made subject of argument while we have more serious issues to deal with. However I would recommend that you discuss this matter with Hammas Privately
@ Ahsan
Yes, I hadn't noticed that Pro Pakistan party had its last word capital too 😛 As you might have noticed that most (like in my article) refer to it as PP and not PPP.. anyway, thanks for pointing it out.
