"freez.. this is a hold up.... hands up"

few days back the parliament debated about how to select a speaker... this has been going on and on .. for god sake why don’t we hire a speaker from some other country and move on already.. the whole reform process is stalled because of this.. the government wants to do it by show of hands and the reformists want to do it secretly. how can both parties stall what is good for the people of this country by such a trivial matter.. now i don’t mean to undermine the legitimacy of the process but i think in every process we should make compromises to achieve our goals.. for now the government has the power so for the sake of moving the process why don’t the reformists ride the wave...now you cry that i am for the government.. let me say this.. i do agree with the reformist that the process of showing hand is not fair and this will have its own political consequences... but should we not think of moving forward and confront wider issues. i can almost guarantee that even on a secret ballot the government candidate would win ...this is just a fact and we all know this so why don’t we move forward and sort out the real issues....
