democracy is a joke in pakistan. in india, democracy is not perfect, there are many defects, but at least, when losing, the outgoing government has left peacefully.
there are some times charges of rigging, but rigging is never serious enough to change the whole verdict.
in pakistan, it does not exist.
one reason may be that democracy requires tolerance which is low in muslim society. i do not mean it as an insult, but i have many muslim friends and colleagues and have found them to be wary of disagreement.
disagreeing peacefully with muslims is difficult, they start getting aggressive easily.
on political front in pakistan also, there is less rational thinking and more of aggressive behaviour.
