You do infact need a real check on power assumed through democratic process, not in metaphorical sense like 'people are sovereign' 'people's representatives can do anything they want' and slogans like that . It will never work that way.. Politicians are after all, politicians. They belong to variety of backgrounds, mostly capital holding ones , and ultimately seek what suits them. If you even post police and other state functionaries on their wishes then,,,, how will it ever work for common people??? For example yesterday two groups fought in our town and some people were seriously injured, both went to police and it was decided that a 'respected' local politician will decide the matter with his 'wisdom' (something commonly known as 'jirga'), now what about the law of country, where does that go in situations like these??? If you don't build an institution which can put a check on politicians then these military and other adventists (or opportunists, whatever you call them) will continue doing what they are doing because politicians will always be the same. Don't be an idealist sis, think from all the perspectives.


I am trying to make it more understandable, hope you are getting the point .
The examples you have given does not have any compatibility with the situation of Pakistan.
1- Monarchy in Great Britain is just symbolical. All the power rests with the Parliament. This system does not suit Pakistan. As you rightly siad Democracy in Pakistan is not that mature to be unaccountable.
2-France passed through 4 stages if I am not mistaken, to reach this system. this system also does not suit us. we do not share a single similarity with France.
3-In U.S.A the separation of Legislature and Executive is a good thing for themselves, that can not be applied to Pakistan as in Pakistan executive is accountable to legislature and judiciary and legislature is also answerable to judiciary whilst Judiciary is practically not answerable to anyone in the recent scenario. In USA Executive is not answerable to Legislature and Judiciary also show restraint for executive as they recently shown in Health Bill issue.
Pakistan has its own unique culture and realities. We need a system which is democratic and accountability must be balanced. Muslims are taught to be wise and exercise freedom. A system of Consultation should prevail in a muslim society which is Democracy in modern language.
