Summary The twitterati has reacted to the whole affair in a manner which represents the mood of the nation
Senate Elections and its results, which are the source of intrigue for people from all walks of life across the length of country, has finally arrived.
Interestingly, the twitterati has reacted to the whole affair in a manner which represents the mood of the nation. In a skeptic tone worthy of cynic Shieldon Cooper himself, the twitterati of Pakistan has trended #MukMukaPolitics and #KhotaTradingDay
The hashtags, as evident by their name, call to attention the practice of horse trading and bi-partisanship represented by hiding the votes cast by members of parliament.
A tweep quipped on the term horse trading , arguing the term to be paradoxical, indicating the word khota would be more appropriate.
Horse trading is a Misnomer Horses are such majestic creatures #KhotaTradingDay is much more apt #SenateElections2015 #SenatePolls

Whereas another tweep whole heartedly rejected the notion of calling the politicans sitting in the assembly as animals , proclaiming that the real animals ought to feel insulted if they could decipher the tweets comparing them
Khotas are hard working animal whereas these senators are nothing but lazy corrupt souls #KhotaTradingDay

#MukMukaPolitics has substituted Pakistani currency with corruption. pic.twitter.com/s8l3KZe7Zf

The incident shows the amount of trust the common citizens have over law makers accross the breadth of the country. Many of them will confide in private that they dont expect the average law maker to have an IQ of more than room temperature. How much truth lies in their claim? Only time will tell.
