Why there is political instability in Pakistan? The main cause is feudal and dynastic politics in Pakistan. Leadership is owned by family members. This feature limits the arrival of new voices and faces. Only traditional political leaders are sustaining in political climate. A few families monopolize political power. In long history of Pakistan, Not even a single Prime Minister completed his/her five years tenure. Furthermore, subsequent Marshal laws starting from 1958-1969, 1969-1971,1977-1988 and Musharraf Marshal law in 1999 to 2006 rocked the ship of democratic system in Pakistan. Now question is; How there is Dynastic and Feudalistic politics in Pakistan? Dr Hassan Askari in his book "The Military and politics in Pakistan (1947-99") said that; Pakistan Muslim league Noon created a partimonial and patronage based political order, where bureaucracy and police are under their firm control and loyal to the House of Sharif". It means there is Patronage , Kinship and beneficiary system that is going on in Pakistani political environment. Political system became political institution. Candidates with dynastic powers often win the elections. There are no intra party democracy. Authoritarian tendencies within political parties are reason of instability of politics. Democra cy is used as a political weapon in Pakistan.
