Finally we have an alternate leadership emerging which will everntually lead us out of this abyss. Let us give our whole hearted support to such leaders.

He might have less of a capacity to sell the "roti, kapra, makan" canard to Pakistan's lower and lower-middle classes. I think you rightly point at her insecurity, especially in light of her power struggles with her mom and late brother Murtaza. For the past 20 or so years, it's been: PPP - NB - MB - AA = BB Yeah, I wouldn’t say that AA is a comprehensive threat to BB’s hegemony over the PPP.
