Partly Facetious: PM seeks advice from select loyalists

"I would like to give our Prime Minister some advice."
"Forget it."
"I am fully aware that he does not take advice..."
"That's not true; our Prime Minister seeks advice from his select loyalists and then does precisely what he had already decided..."
"So a waste of time."
"Nope that gives his loyalists a feeling of being taken on board..."
"What about family? Does he take any advice from family?"
"Well, Mian Sharif Senior would reportedly dictate to his sons, so there was no advice taking there simply carrying out commands but with the First Spouse and First Daughter I hear they do not quite dictate but as per the Biblical refrain theirs will be done..."
"It's thine will be done, not theirs."
"I live in Pakistan and am talking politics in Pakistan so a little poetic license is allowed I reckon."
"You are being facetious anyway I would still like to give our Prime Minister advice, he may dump it or take it as he deems appropriate..."
"He is not in the country so your advice will fall not on deaf ears, which condition may have prompted you to use paper and pencil, but on no ears at all...."
"Where is he? I mean the Lahore blast happened on Monday and he was here and I read the condemnatory message..."
"He went on a three day trip to Maldives on Tuesday and..."
"It takes less than one day to get from one end of Maldives to another..."
"Hmmm, we come back to how much advice he takes, but by the way what advice were you considering giving him?"
"The oil tankers strike has finally resolved on its third day, if not, I was going to suggest that he declares an emergency, seizes the tankers, hires the army to drive them and..."
"As I said, no ears to listen to your advice."
"What about Shahid Khaqan Abbasi..."
"SKA as in Simply Keeping Alive his Ministry?"
"I give up."
