Partly Facetious: Most personable candidate for PM post?

"Who do you reckon is the most personable candidate for the post of Prime Minister?"
Published June 26, 2018

"Who do you reckon is the most personable candidate for the post of Prime Minister?"
"I would reckon Maryam Nawaz, she is decorative, her clothes sense is impeccable and need I add, her makeup is a work of art. I mean we all have our good days and bad days but seriously I haven't seen a bad day..."
"You are so shallow, talking about appearance, I meant in terms of character, ability to represent us Pakistanis and..."
"Well, I don't know any party leader, including the Khan whose place of residence in the country is not palatial and that's not how 99 percent of us Pakistanis live. And I strongly disagree with you the way we dress is important and relevant. I ask you the Khan used to project an image of being liberal but his third wife observes' purdah which does not project the image of a liberal man..."
"Perhaps he is going for having his cake and eating it too: get the conservative religious vote and implement liberal policies after he becomes the prime minister...besides his second wife didn't observe purdah and look where that got him!"
"Don't be facetious, but anyway one question: if Shahbaz Sharif becomes the prime minister which one of the two wives would accompany him to the Prime Minister's House?"
"I am not sure - his first wife only deals with family while his second wife has refused to benefit materially from the marriage, so she may or may not opt to shift to Islamabad."
"So neither of Shahbaz Sharif's wives will move, you reckon?"
"Yes, but I support his candidacy because he is the best dressed candidate for the post..."
"But the Khan..."
"Was OK till early this year, but after his third marriage his sense of colour has gone haywire... I mean a pink t-shirt!? I bet you if he was still married to Jemima she would have divorced him for his recent colour choice. He has begun wearing colours better associated with women and striped shalwar kameez..."
"The Khan is projecting a gender neutral imagine."
"Don't be facetious but anyway Maryam Nawaz as I said is the most decorative..."
"Ah, but Shahbaz Sharif has given her NA 125 where the PTI candidate is strong so she may lose from the National Assembly ticket."
"Right, but daddy Nawaz Sharif checkmated his brother's decision by giving the party ticket to two unknowns to stand against Chaudhry Nisar."
"Was that a checkmate or hara-kiri, I mean there is no way these unknowns will beat the Chaudhry..."
"That's what I love about Nawaz Sharif: keep making the same mistake over and over hoping that this time the decision would be proved right."
"Nawaz Sharif did not respond to the report carried in the daily Mail claiming that he and his children owned property worth 32 million pounds in the UK..."
"Oh, I was watching Ishaq Dar, who looked beguilingly healthy, as he tried to sneak past the reporters and the cameras after the meeting of party stalwarts in London and..."
"Why didn't he wait for the reporters to leave?"
"He had a doctor's appointment and..."
"Don't be facetious."
