As much as I think this is crap that Musharraf is pulling this stunt as the same time I believe it is a good idea. We saw what happened to Palestine, they elected Hamas into office. I dont want some extreme Islamic party become the leaders of Pakistan which is a Nuclear weapons state.

Is this election Presidential or is it more like a parlimentary/congress election?

Hey, my apologies.

I was watching the BBC News24 channel and over my shoulder the Electoral Commission was making the announcement. In my view it was legitimate "breaking news" so I thought the BN forum was best placed. As the event was happening live there was no news link I could post yet - unless I waited for it to NOT be breaking news anymore.

Anyhow - I won't be doing that again. And no worries about my infraction, please leave it on against me - it proved sexy to my girlfriend that I was now an "International Bad Boy"...
