Wrong. They can wield power if they have the swing votes. This is what I preferred the AFC to have done. If the Shuman party could deprive either the PPP or PNC from gaining an absolute majority, then the winner forms a minority Govt. To get any bills to pass, they will need the swing vote. And that’s were Shuman can wield power!

As AFC proved, any 3rd party with swing votes in parliament will morph into obstructionists rather than serve any useful purpose for the country. The AFC's voting record pre 2015 was almost always in line with PNC.
