"So what does Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf and Pakistan Muslim League-N has in common?" "Their hatred for each other revealed with growing regularity by constant attacks against each other in the media." "That's obvious and, no, that was not the answer I was looking for."
"One has been in power in the centre and continues to be in power in the Punjab while the latter has not yet formed a government." "Nope, that is not what I was referring to either."
"I am sorry I don't see any other commonality between the two parties."
"Both PTI and PML (N) think they will win a majority in the forthcoming elections and would not require any support from any other party. And that, survey after survey reveals, is not likely."
"Ah I see, and unlike the leadership of these two parties the master of Jorr Torr President Asif Ali Zardari is fully sold on the idea that no single party will win the next elections which is why he is now busy ensuring that the coalition survives into the next elections."
"Yes, but there maybe a snag in that logic as well. The ANP is not likely to win in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as per the surveys and Imran Khan may be in a position to form a government in that province."
"This explains the timing of ANP's anger at the Sindh Local Government Ordinance 2012; and its decision to make this an issue with the PPP in Sindh though in the centre I don't see Bilour or any of the other ministers tendering their resignation even one minute before it is necessary."
"Why leave before it is absolutely necessary! And given that the PPP still needs the ANP in the centre it is unlikely to challenge the federal ministries held by the party."
"I must say President Zardari understands greed and political compulsions very well and the other parties need to take some basic courses in psychology of our parliamentarians and..."
"And who would teach them this lesson? I don't think the President is ready to share his political insights."
"Can't these parties learn from his actions?"
"Nope, these parties are being led by technocrats."
"Technocrats?"
"They think they are, and the only reason they don't succeed, let me amend that, the only reason they continuously fail, is someone else's fault."
"Don't be facetious."
