Change in 18th Amendment:
The 18th amendment was a step in the right direction to devolve power from a heavily centralized Federal Government to Provinces. However, this process is meaningless until power is devolved from the provinces to districts, and in due course (as the capacity constraints are addressed) all the way down to Union Council level. Pakistan Freedom Movement advocates a strong local government that ensures delivery to the doorstep of citizens.

Change in Election Law 2017:
Electioneering in Pakistan has become subservient to an evil partnership of money and power. The prevailing election law in Pakistan is such that even if 100% free and fair elections are conducted, the results are unlikely to bring the best people of the country to the parliament. To counter this dead end, Pakistan Freedom Movement vociferously advocates switching to a system of proportional representation. This will give voters that confidence that their vote matters and shall, to a large extent, overcome the power/money issue that strangles the system currently.
