Partly Facetious: The PPP head should have learnt two lessons

"Nawaz Sharif went to Imran Khan to bury the hatchet."
"Good, it's a good precedence but what about the others. Maulana Fazal is on the rampage and is refusing to accept the mandate of Tehreek-e-Insaaf in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa."
"The Maulana needs to be in government to sustain his lifestyle if you know what I mean."
"But the Maulana must realise that the days of influence peddling through politics are over. And I, for one, would want PTI and PML (N) to join forces to ensure that their stated agenda for this country is implemented."
"I hope, but anyway the PPP has lost badly and there are indications that the real party head would come out and rejuvenate the party."
"The real party head should have learned two lessons by now, first that the jiyala is also part of the democratic process and need I add will take account of the performance of the party while in power."
"But the Sindh victory shows..."
"The Sindh victory in rural areas shows that the PPP chose its candidates well, and that Sindh voted by and large on the basis of biradari or for a pir."
"A pir must be respected, remember pir sahib Gilani saying that the Supreme Court should respect him because he was a pir. Well, pir sahib has been twice bit, once by the court and once by the people of his area."
"Right, but I think the pirs of Punjab, Southern Punjab, who owed loyalty to the PPPP must consolidate their hold on the minds of the people of that region. And all effort must be made to ensure that the school system in their area fails to reach the majority and..."
"Don't be facetious. But the pirs of Sindh won, didn't they!"
"Yes, and credit for that does not go to the PPP or not all. Anyway, the second lesson that I hope President Zardari has learnt is that he has consistently ranked lower in popularity than his party, or in other words he needs to remain in the background for now at least and let his children take the lead. Maybe, just maybe Bilawal may have a higher popularity rating than his party like in the case of all other party heads."
"Right, but performance matters and Sindh government must deliver this time or else lose Sindh in the next elections as well." "Indeed."
