POLITICAL DYNAMICS
Pakistan has had
considerable difficulty developing stable, cohesive political
organizations because they have suffered long periods of repression.
Further, political parties, with few exceptions, have been founded
as vehicles for one person or a few individuals, or to achieve
specifically defined goals. When these individuals die or abandon
their parties, or after party goals have been met, many organizations
have lost their raison d'être and have lacked the ability to carry
on. In addition, political parties have been handicapped by regional
and ethnic factors that have limited their national appeal and
have also been torn by personal and class rivalries.
