Let's move the discussion away from the merits of Imran for a moment to discuss what his chances of getting elected are. I think Agent has it right that it's very unlikely that Imran wins the 2013 elections. His support base is largely in Punjab where he will take votes away from PML (N). This will only help the PPP. I don't see Imran challenging the PPP/MQM in Sindh or the ANP in Khyber-Pakhtunkwa. In effect, I don't see any significant changes in the makeup of the next government. The opposition will probably look different, with Imran being a significant player on the opposition benches. Thoughts?
