Resolution for 2008: Blog about happy things too

Parliamentary elections in Pakistan have been delayed, understandably. I think this is entirely appropriate. With so many attacks being made against different party leaders, and one having succeeded, the time should be taken to make sure that the voting process will be safe as well. Will the government use the time in this way? Probably not. But I still support the idea of delaying elections.

Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister and leader of the Pakistan Muslim League party, is not happy with the delay. I think its because he sees the potential for more votes for his own party as chaos within the PPP continues. The PPP is also not happy with the postponement, as they believe they may be able to gain sympathy votes.

So...um....happy new year, everyone?
