Almost all political parties of Pakistan are personality cults except JI.
Even in West it is big money and publicity that helps win elections.
German scholar Thomas Mann had written:" It is a strange
fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of
democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically
considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive,
just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive."
The cure for evils of democracy does not lie in more
democracy but making qualifications of voters and
the candidates stricter so that only competent people
get elected and the corrupt elements are debarred from
politicking.
