Also the charismatic personality of imran khan has managed to bring out from homes those educated voter who never believed in the power of vote. Also he has won over the new generation of voter who will be taking part in the next election. So i do see Imran khan taking some reasonable number of seats in the next election. My definition of Reasonable is that the number which wont make him ashamed of his effort but at the same time will not make him a leading stake holder in the parliament.
But when i take a deep breadth and think over his personality and wander whether he will be able to deliver, then i have to say that i m not very confident.
If i have to describe his personality then i have to say that he is honest but not dedicated, he has a vision but he is not committed to his vision, he knows the destination but he is not brave enough.
Let me give some arguments for my analysis of his personality.
First of all he picked the easiest of the opponent to attack, Sharif Brothers. They are corrupt like all others but neither they have a violent wing like MQM, nor they have the cunningness of Zardari. Its like picking South Africa as your main opponent instead of India or Australia. thats why i think he is not brave enough.
Secondly he still is more or less the only sole spokesman of his party, i wander if his party really is democratic.?? i mean lets take a mins and think over it. Why we dont hear from other people in his party? do they really believe in his point of view.??
Thirdly and most importantly i feel he lack committment.. Like he started a campaign against Altaf Hussain and half way we have no clue whether he is still defending his petition or he has withdrawn it?? Lately he has talked quite in favor of MQM.. so i really wander what has happened behind the curtain. Has MQM really stopped terrorism?? or has Imran khan has got a different order. Honest i wont be surprised if he withdraw his petition in coming months. Thats why i said he lack commitment. Although i dont want to question his honesty but if one day he withdraw his petition i will question his honesty too.
Lastly, lately he has got some old faces in his camp like Mian Azhar and some PML(N) town level leaders. So when he is asking Sharif Brother to declare his assets then atleast he should make Mian Azhar assets public and ask the opposition that if they find any hiding of the facts then they should question his committment. Its very easy to throw eggs on others but i dont see his own committment to his own rules. Come on, show us that your party will be different. Its not about only YOU, its about Tehrik-e-Insaaf. which is announcing that its bringing a change.
Lately there have been quite a few minor events which passed before my eyes like they said that Shehbaz Sharif wrongfully closed their Shaukat Khanum Laboratory and when they were asked to go to the courts they didnt go. or Pervez Musharraf said that he has given a puppy as a gift to him and he didnt come out and say that No its a lie and i will go in court not only to prove him wrong but to make him pay for tarnishing my image and so on..
Looking on all these small n big things i have to say that people want a change and he has got charisma and momentum to get elected but he has not got what it takes to be a true leader.
do you agree?

Welcome PakiPatriot.
Well it does not baffle me, to say the least, that some choose to object to the whole metamorphosis of polity. You presented your reasons for your dislike and I must say I disagree.
And here is why......
1- Easy pickings Sharif Brathraan - Would you go to war and try to tackle the whole army alone? I.K stated ''change has started''......he will get the others as well.
2- Sole spokesperson - And he is
NOT the only spokesperson for PTI, blame the media if you should. He gets media coverage since he is the most famous one in the hand picked lot. Ever since his 30/10/11 Jalsa there has been some light shone on other spokespeople as well.
And if for one instance, lets imagine that he was really....truly the only presider, wouldnt it be the case of
'too many Chiefs' if it were in contrast to what he is doing?
Let him win the elections and I can bet there will be everyone on the podium and our media would be covering them all.
3- Lacks commitment - Come again?......this has got to be the most outrageous 'must-find-fault' excuse that I have ever come across. As far as I know Imran has not let MQM off the hook. This case is not proceeding due to lack of unavoidable circumstances and hinderances objecting to the whole evidence of actions.
Quite rightly he is not following that option for the time being....first things first.
And not all MQM people are goons, hence the praise.
4- Mian Azar and others - Quote an instance where Mian Azar has been charged with, let alone accused of, corruption in the past. And you mention some unnamed PML- N past members (I have a feeling who you have in mind..... one Sialkoti ****** de boti, pardon my french, but his position is still contested)....all I have to say sometimes you have to stand a few pricks if you want a bloom (pun intended).
And would you prefer that he brought new people forward who have no clue about politics?
Why Imran Khan will win in election but will fail to deliver?
