"mister ten percent", etc 2. nawaz sharif government ousted in scandal of nawaz sharif corruption (maybe that choice of microsoft word fonts in the faked documents for luxury UK real estate was not the best idea ever). 3. people finally "elected" khan 4. khan loses power in parliamentary no confidence vote none of those are exactly what an outsider would consider to be the normal and orderly transfer of power in an electoral system
- nabeelam 4y agoSure, but I am arguing the strictly technical definition of terms completed by and power transferred between civilian governments. My own opinion: democracy is hardly a boolean value -- these transfers, faulty and flawed as they may be, did legitimize civilian rule in the public eye.
- BeetleB 4y agoI think the claim that was being made was that no prime minister has completed a term in office.(5 years) For your first bullet, the prime minister was kicked out after just over 4 years. For your second bullet, the prime minister was kicked out after just over 4 years. For the third bullet, Imran Khan didn't even last 4 years.
