We sure are a nation of mediocres, but lets remember that Imran khan is no mediocre by any means. He lacks a public background other than his cricket gig, although his charity work is purely remarkable and noteworthy. However, his survival in politics is threatened by his severe lack of political allies and ties within the political framework of pakistan. Our politics is, to this day, by and large fed by a decent mix of feudals and industrialists, among whom Imran Khan's slogans of changing the status quo won't gain much popularity. Public support hardly matters here, for if it did, Abdul Sattar Edhi and Hakeem saeed and Abdul Qadeer Khan would be at the helm of our leadership. Khan's almost delusional stance on Pakistan's ground realities distances him from any real leadership position. To make things worse, his divorce has ripped him off of some massive financial resources he previously had easy access to, and could've used those resources to feul a political buyout campaign and secured himself at least a regional presence. His inability to do this demonstrates the volatility of his vision, and therefore the lack of political wit. This, is the determining handicap that would continue to cripple him from attaining significant political prowess, however bright his vision may be.
