Pro-Pakistan conducts polls from time to time to take the pulse of the Pakistani community on different issues. Recently, we conducted a PP Poll to take our readers opinion as to which party they will support in the next general election in Pakistan? Before going into the results, i must clarify few things here. The polls are conducted online and on the site of Pro-Pakistan and hence a limited Pakistani audience participate in it. In this latest poll, a total of 828 people participated. The results of the polls shows the opinion of the educated Pakistani’s who have access to the internet and actively follow blog sites like ours and hence do not represent the common Pakistani people to a greater extent. Common Pakistani citizens lacks access to internet and hence their opinion might be different from the results of this poll. Blog sites like Pro-Pakistan are mostly visited by youth of Pakistan and therefore we can say that the results of this poll are mostly based on their opinion. Moreover, overseas Pakistani also uses internet and visit Pakistani blog sites and therefore their opinion is also best reflected in the results.
Now coming towards the Results of the Poll with Poll Question “Which Party You will Support in the Next General Elections in Pakistan?”. The answer choices given to the readers were:
1) Pakistan Tehrik e Insaf
2) Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz
3) Pakistan Peoples Party
4) Muttahida Qaumi Movement
5) Awami National Party
6) JUI-JI - The Islamic Parties (at least they claim so)
7) Others
8) None of the above
Now keeping the above options in mind, one can safely assume that approximately all major parties have been included in the results with two extra options giving the readers a choice not to support any of these parties or to show their willingness to support any other party beside them. The purpose of these two choices was to see if our readers value these parties or opt for others parties or no party at all.
Now the results are as following:
1) PTI - 321 votes with 39% of total votes
2) PML - N 233 votes with 28% of total votes
3) MQM - 106 votes with 13% of total votes
4) None - 88 votes with 10% of total votes
5) PPP - 44 votes with 5% of total votes
6) Others - 22 votes with 3% of total votes
7) JI-JUI - 15 votes with 2% of total votes
And finally
8) ANP with 3 votes with approx 0% of total votes [click to continue...]

Being a regular Facebook junkie, just voted on the poll regarding Musharraf’s trial. The interesting fact is that more than 11,000 people have voted in just 3 days (if numbers provided by the poll are correct). This is quite a number for a poll to be hit. Even research companies take lot of time to conduct such surveys and their sample is less…
So far the verdict is in favour of a trial by 53% supporting and 45% not supporting. It comes as a big surprise as I had this feeling the whole Pakistan wants to see him in court. Or may be the facebook is a previllage and only the upper middle class and higher class have access to it. In both ways, the Poll is a hit , not so much for Musharaf haters, as it seems he is making a strong come back. Another key point here is , that what difference would it make if he is trialed or not , the thieves and thugs of the 90’s are still ruling Pakistan ! whatever happened to there trial.
