There seems to be no end to dynasty worship in Pakistan - even the most liberal and popular political party is not immune from it. Quite disappointing to see this news:
Benazir Bhutto's 19-year-old son Bilawal has been chosen to take over her Pakistan People's Party, after her assassination on Thursday.
It is thought he will take the role in a ceremonial capacity while he finishes his studies at Oxford University.
Bilawal told journalists at the Bhutto family home: "My mother always said democracy is the best revenge."
Ms Bhutto's widower, Asif Ali Zardari, who is expected to run the party, said it would contest January elections.
