This is the first time in our recent past that major political parties are sitting together to form a national government and for the first time our opposition is planning (at least claiming in press-conferences) to play a proactive, constructive role. If Q-league (Pro-Musharaf party) keeps its word and take part as helping body then it will certainly help them not only in next election but will also set a new tradition in Pakistan.
I also hope, opposition or any other party for that matter will not undermine ruling party to complete its constitutional term of 5 years.
So far, Zardari role is impressive and I think for longer interest of his party - PPPP, he should keep himself away from running as a front-line contender for PM. Leave this place for senior most party member and play a father-like figure in PPPP, and build/improve is bad image of Mr. 10%.
Pakistan, at this critical juncture need no more surprises of floor-crossings or forward-blocks. Changing loyalties for small political/economical gains have never helped Pakistan, this is time we should denounce and reject anyone who put personal gains over national.

As far as the new political scenario is concern one must not forget the past record of the politician being elected (as mentioned). But with unfold of new twist and turns of Pakistani political arena these old horses may face new political challenges; as for now the media is more independent/free than ever and public more aware. Last government may have done blunders which cost them dearly in this election but there were many polices adopted by them which were in some ways better than previous government (perhaps some may not agree with me on this). So this will be a treat to watch how they pursue their political aimbitions in this new Pakistan they haven't are not used to.
Don't you think these politicians can again manipulate media or put them under some restrictions which they've done in numerous occasions in past.
