Sharif pulls the PML-N out of the coalition with the PPP


Its only been three months and Pakistan's coalition between arch rival clans, the Bhuttos and the Sharifs, has ended. The PPP has failed to re-install judges removed by Musharraf. This isn't the end of the government but it is the end of an uneasy anti-Musharraf alliance. Sharif has said that his party will support the minority PPP government on an issue by issue basis. He effectively has the power to end the government.

The PPP are just worried someone will get tried for corruption again.
