The political parties have shown that if needed, they can come together, but only if the military says so, not the PTI. It has not been able to get a handle on the economy, even after the induction of an IMF-approved team. The most obvious was the desire of the opposition parties not just for relief for their leaders, but for a turn at the high table. One problem has been that the establishment is more like Western political parties than existing parties. However, while institutions are headed by men who have come up the ladder, the public decides which party to support.
