PTI’s Collapse Was Structural, Not Accidental
The decline of PTI is often blamed on “establishment fallout” or “external pressure.” That explanation is convenient — and incomplete.
PTI hollowed itself out by:
-
Replacing policy with personality
-
Loyalty tests instead of competence
-
Street power instead of parliamentary craft
When leadership is centralized around one voice, the moment that voice is removed, the structure collapses. Today, PTI is discovering that movements don’t survive on hashtags alone.
The Quiet Return of Governance Politics
While PTI dominated attention, Pakistan Muslim League (N) rebuilt quietly — files, ministries, budgets, execution.
Under Nawaz Sharif’s political lineage, PMLN focused on the unglamorous: infrastructure, fiscal discipline, institutional continuity. That approach doesn’t trend — but it delivers.
Public sentiment is shifting not because people are suddenly in love with PMLN, but because they are tired of chaos marketed as courage.
