I guess jiyalays would equal to political base of a party? I don't see anything wrong with that. I think what people like you are over looking is that our political system is not mature enough, and for it to become mature we have to let the system work, & let political parties developed basic ideologies, and what they're want & how they will deliver services to the nation. In the process they will make mistakes & elect clowns like Zardari, but the point is eventually system will correct itself in due time, and filter out these clowns.
BTW, take the US example. It took the US over 232 years & a civil war to developed 2 party political system. In Pakistan same thing was about to happen ie PML and PPP until army got involved and uprooted the system yet again & created the splinter group, the Q-league. Army's involvement in politics is never a good thing any country & almost all of Pakistan's problems, including politically instability, can be traced back to armys involvement in politics.
