Major changes to the 1980 Constitution requires 67% approval by the National Assembly. At what point between 1992 and 2015 did the PPP either control 67% of the National Assembly or would have been able to get the cooperation of the PNC parliamentarians? The AFC alone did not have enough Parliamentarians to help the PPP get to 67%. Even in 2015 with the Coalition accusing the PPP of corruption, they just barely outnumbered the votes garnered by the PPP and even that difference has not been conclusively established. So where did the PPP practically squandered any opportunity to amend the Constitution? What matters now is who is in government. Fortunately the Coalition promised to reform the Constitution and they did not identify any difficulties accomplishing that objective. So why haven’t they reformed it as yet? Blaming the PPP for the actions of the Coalition Government is actually the cop out.
