Partly Facetious: politicians have no exit strategies

"Everyone must have an exit strategy."
"I agree - it makes the going easier."
"And go we all must."
"One question: are you talking death?"
"Well, that's the ultimate exit strategy."
"And there are many other exit strategies before we reach the ultimate. Is that your thesis today?"
"Indeed. I work in a job - I must have an exit strategy."
"Is that the new wave of thinking? In the old days you got a job and stuck to it unless you retired."
"Those days are long gone. To move forward, to grow in all sorts of ways you have to have an exit strategy."
"To grow...I see what you mean and no where is this more visible than with our politicians."
"There is the Chosen One expanding horizontally...and there was Nawaz Sharif and then there was also BB, not to forget Mushahid..."
"I wasn't referring to their physical expansion."
"What were you referring to?"
"Their exit strategies."
"BB and Nawaz Sharif's was to exit the country..."
"Don't be facetious. I was referring to their exit strategy from what they did before..."
"You are right. Each politician has an exit strategy from the party they say they are loyal to. Look at Abida Hussain she has come full circle. Her husband has been behind her in adopting the philosophy of an exit strategy."
"Except the leaders..."
"Sorry?"
"The leaders don't change sides - they are the only ones who have no exit strategy from the party they lead."
"Until death the great leveller catches up with them."
"That's right."
"There is one other set of individuals who don't have an exit strategy?"
"I know that one. The two hatted presidents."
"Indeed. They don't want to give up either hat so to speak and that has been a feature of our politics since the dawn of Pakistan almost."
"Indeed until death the great leveller..."
"Precisely."
