The party that has been brainwashed for the last 12 year (likely more) that they are voting for a messiah who will save Pakistan. It is hard to discuss issues analytically with PTI supporters bec
They either deflect or label people to discredit them which is how with due respect a cult behaves.
If you talk about state gifts being misappropriated, they will “my gift, my choice”.
If you talk about making deals with Malik riaz, they’ll argue well he is good in real estate
If you talk corruption, they’ll argue well ok isn’t directly engaging in it (only his wife and those in his close circles).
If you talk about merit, they’ll change the goal post like in case of Buzdar where it was argued he is from “common people” so he’ll deliver.
If you talk about use of state resources in excess like using helicopter to fly from ISB to bank gala and every else he needed to go, they’ll argue well he doesn’t want to cause the public inconvenience (but ok to cause them financial burden).
I can go on and on and on.
All you have to do is replace Ik with any other politician for the above and see how your response will be and you’ll know if you principled or just a cult
