Partly Facetious: The Sharifs think they will win

"Delusional that is all, I can say."
"Election time fuels delusions. The fact that all the parties think they will win in the forthcoming elections by a landslide is just the usual assessment of party leaders all over the world as they begin their campaigns. Admitting defeat before the elections would simply work negatively on the psyche of the voters who may simply decide not to vote because they reckon the result is a foregone conclusion."
"That's true; Nawaz Sharif thinks he will win because of good governance in Punjab..."
"And let me add that good governance does not mean a deficit that seems to be increasing."
"Hey, I am not challenging his claim simply telling you that the Sharifs think they will win, maybe as much due to their own performance as due to poor governance in the centre, the PPP reckons it will win because it has electables and has already worked well with its coalition partners namely PML (Q), MQM and ANP so it is set to form another coalition for five years, Imran Khan reckons the PPP is bowled out and his fight would be with the PML (N) which he will win."
"Delusional all, I reckon no party would win as many seats as they reckon."
"The most politically honest remains President Zardari who reckons there would be a coalition after the next elections as well which is why he is making election deals."
"True, but the master Delusionist is not in the country."
"Delusionist? President Zardari..."
"President is a master illusionist, by delusionist I meant a man or woman who no longer has any grasp of reality."
"Good heavens, who do you mean?"
"Musharraf. I was watching a British television channel where he said that he has many similarities with Imran Khan..."
"Oh yes, Khan undoubtedly took Pakistani cricket to a new height and I guess we can compare this feat with the Kargil exercise, taking the hapless army to a new height..."
"Don't be facetious."
"And another commonality, both men appreciate beauty."
"Shhhh, this is the Islamic Republic, what I was referring to was Musharraf's statement that he and Khan have the same support base."
"The army?"
"No, the youth..."
"Oh dear! Yes he is master Delusionist"
