Cost of Democracy for the Pakistanis...!

The major portion of our salaries is used in paying the electricity, gas and phone bills. The electricity charges per unit are revised upwards multiple times in a year. In summers this bill becomes unpayable even if use our airconditioners for decoration only! And have alook at the lavish living of  our members of Parliment. We, the poor people of pakistan do not afford a democratic government. When million are wasted on electing MPAs and trillions to keep them and all that for doing nothing! (87 of these elected member did not say a words in the assembly for past 3 years!!! How can help the people of their constituencies)
