Will We See Vast Improvements In Pakistan Now?

[youngmafbog]

Imran Khan is claiming victory, assuming this is not a 'kinnock' moment will Khan be able to bring Pakistan into the 21st Century?

[Canary42]

We can only hope.

[naomi24]

//will Khan be able to bring Pakistan into the 21st Century? //

I doubt it.

[ummmm]

Unlikely.

[Hopkirk]

He'll just be a puppet of the military.

[MallyJ]

Is he in the 21st Century? Are we talking the 21st Century as decided by the UK or Pakistans 21st Century? Is there a difference?

[ToraToraTora]

21st century? lets not run before we can walk. I'd settle for the 17th century.

[ToraToraTora]

"Is he in the 21st Century? Are we talking the 21st Century as decided by the UK or Pakistans 21st Century? Is there a difference? " - ah mally the hijri Calendar is 653 years adrift and the year is 11 days short! anyway we are in 1439!

[dannyk13]

Time will tell.

[MallyJ]

Tora.....I have read that he is on his third young wife and he likes this one particularly as she likes staying indoors..... I think that he has not quite got any understanding of 21st Century women!!!!

[ToraToraTora]

well the prophet himself set the bar.....9!

[jno]

I doubt he'll even get the Pakistan cricket team playing there. Good luck to him but Pakistan is basically a failed state.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably take a few hundred years before they reach they 21st century (in terms of western social attitudes). But you never know, they may achieve it a bit faster if the will is there. Knowledge of other societies in this age of the Internet, etc. might speed things up.

He can hit a leather ball with a piece of wood.
What else does he need to succeed?

I doubt it, Pakistan’s new prime minister, he recently married his third wife, a burka-wearing Islamic mystic whose face he had never seen before their wedding.

Unfortunately Hopkirk I think you are probably right as the Military seem to be behind him.

"Is he in the 21st Century? Are we talking the 21st Century as decided by the UK or Pakistans 21st Century? Is there a difference? "

Firstly clearly 'Western' 21st century and secondly if you have to ask if there is difference then you can't know much about Pakistan and it's problems.

[david small]

I hope he doesn’t fall victim to assassination.

[Hopkirk]

Very likely, David

There's progressive thinking for you.
