Partly Facetious: Politics is a profession

"We are a nation that forgives and forgets easily and that is perhaps why we are in the state that we are in."
"Are you talking politics again? Why don't you live and let live? Today all political parties in the country have had their tenure in power - the national parties in federal government and the regional parties in regional politics, some like the MQM in city politics with national overtones given the large number of seats of some cities in the national assembly and then..."
"What are you implying? That as all parties have had a share in power they should simply wait their turn? My dear friend how not with it you are! Politics is a profession where the concept of losing is simply unacceptable and while in Western democracies leads to the resignation of the leader who took the party to elections and lost but in Pakistan the party leader turns around and claims rigging, pre-poll, during poll and on occasion after poll though after poll rigging is kind of easy-peasy and does not really require any external assistance if you know what I mean."
"But Zardari sahib was ready to wait his turn in 2013 and even now is ready to wait his turn but after some basic ground rules are laid and you can accuse him of whatever you want but the fact remains that he has not been convicted ever, unlike Nawaz Sharif and..."
"Let's see! Zardari sahib was never convicted because of Benazir Bhutto, his spouse and leader, but I am not sure that would happen now."
"Hmmm, but you do know we have entered the new Pakistan phase and..."
"And what is different from the old Pakistan I ask you? We have a finance minister who does not understand macro-economic basics just like Dar though both are known to burn the midnight oil? We have a prime minister who has an entourage 22 cars accompanying him, I counted as I waited for his convoy to pass, I mean given that our security concerns have declined shouldn't IK have reduced the convoy by at least two cars? Then he goes around distributing health cards, and didn't Nawaz Sharif and Zardari sahib do that as well paid for by our taxes not their private income? Where else does that happen! And there is definitely over exposure of IK by PTV and that is a recipe for disenchantment."
"But Nawaz Sharif never had cabinet meetings and IK's day is full of meetings and when he doesn't have any with foreign dignitaries or businessmen or institutions he summons the cabinet or a committee on energy or..."
"Nawaz Sharif and Zardari sahib also loved chairing meetings initially but with time got bored. Give IK time."
"Don't be facetious."
