Partly Facetious: PPP must win the hearts and minds of IDPs

"What in the world was David Miliband up to?"
"Whatever do you mean? He came on a one day visit and went to see the internally displaced persons (IDPs), the UK is extending considerable assistance to them..."
"But not enough to meet their needs!"
"Not enough to meet the needs of all the IDPs but enough to meet the needs of at least 15 to 20 percent."
"I see what you mean: to each how ever much he or she can afford. Not being rich I can meet the needs of one family per month so that is what I give."
"Exactly though the senior members of our executive have yet to announce assistance for the IDPs that is over and above the salaries that you and I pay them...through our tax money."
"Strange that I agree because several members of our executive are extremely wealthy and their farm income that is comparable to that of some industrialists is not taxed and income held abroad is not declared and therefore not taxed."
"Let it be. You have seen two of their budgets: keep the status quo with respect to levy of taxes."
"I guess its just so much wasted breath but what I wanted to say was seeing Miliband with the IDPs is something we rarely see our own members of the executive doing on a routine basis. I believe Gilani, our Prime Minister, has visited IDP camps twice while the President has visited these camps only once so far...I think Miliband has visited the camps twice."
"You reckon he will win elections from that region if he is allowed to stand there?"
"Well I am just saying that..."
"I know what you are saying. The PPP must win the hearts and minds of these people, simply relying on their traditional support is not good politics."
"And that is what our political parties are good at: good politicking."
"And how do they define good politicking?"
"Taking as many foreign trips as possible when in power; manipulating politicians to get their vote in the assemblies and Senate; and trying to rule for as long as possible or at least try to complete their term."
"What about ushering development and prosperity and..."
"That doesn't come under good politicking."
"You are being facetious."
