"Isn't democracy beautiful?"
"What are you referring to? The Prime Minister taking exception to remarks by the PML (N)'s Abbasi that the present government wanted to create a province in South of Punjab just so the PM's son could become its chief minister. Well, I hope you heard the denial and strong protest that the PM registered in the house..."
"But Abbasi was merely quoting from a newspaper."
"Just goes to show that all the papers are not right all the time."
"Hey, that proverb doesn't fit here but anyway did you notice that our Prime Minister's moustache is kinda beginning to droop."
"You are so blatantly anti-democracy."
"Just because I reckon his moustache is beginning to droop?"
"Yes, and that's not true, don't you know that our Prime Minister does not allow his moustache to be long enough to begin to droop so I know and all democracy loving people of Pakistan know that your statement was nothing but an attempt to malign a democratically elected government that will complete its term come what may."
"Even if the democratically elected government is not delivering on any front as you and I both know?"
"The 18th Amendment, the National Finance Commission Award and by far, the most democratic policy of all namely of reconciliation..."
"What about gas, electricity, unemployment, inflation..."
"The gas strike has ended."
"I know, but why must the government wait for people to come out on the streets before it takes action? Doesn't it know how much pain the people would accept?"
"The strikes are the fault of the opposition who wants to derail democracy."
"I thought the protests were spontaneous."
"Nope."
"But those who cannot cook at home, those who..."
"Nope.""I give up."
