Partly Facetious: Elected PM or caretaker: No room for argument

"Chaudhry is really losing his patience, isn't he?"
"Well, it's either that or he's losing something else!"
"Agreed. I mean I wonder how appropriate it is to go to a tourism seminar or conference or whatever it was that he went to, and the first thing you say is not how to promote tourism in this country, which, need I add, badly needs boosting, but to say, 'I am an elected Prime Minister and not a caretaker one.'"
"What's the difference between a caretaker and an elected PM?"
"Well if our past is anything to go by, a caretaker is an import from abroad and/or appointed by the army but his period of rule is for a short time, until general elections are held - three months at most but sometimes they have stretched it a bit. An elected PM is elected through parliament and does not owe his elevation to anyone but the Parliament and he/she will leave office only after general elections have shown that he/she has lost the mandate."
"We haven't had any one like that. Bhutto, the father not the daughter, came close to being an elected PM but after that they were all dismissed, right?"
"Yeah, and considering Bhutto's fate no wonder no one minds being dismissed rather than, you know what."
"Well, that's a tough call then."
"Indeed. I mean Chaudhry Sahib is a caretaker to the extent that he was appointed or nominated by Musharraf - I mean we are all agreed that Musharraf agreed to allow Chaudhry Sahib to rule for a period of three months or so, or as long as it takes to get another man elected."
"An assigned task that Chaudhry Sahib is taking seriously by the way."
"What task?"
"Of getting the real Musharraf appointee elected."
"Ah yes, but anyway given this definition Chaudhry Sahib is more of a caretaker than an elected prime minister if you know what I mean."
"But by that definition even Shaukat Aziz is a caretaker PM."
"Precisely. He is there because of the will of one man too."
"Chaudhry must understand that in the days of the new and improved democracy, the shortness of his reign, the agreement by the power that be on his status for a limited period, and the fact that the PML (Lotas) would dump Chaudhry Sahib in a flash if he didn't support Musharraf, are factors that have led the Press to label him as the caretaker."
"But all this doesn't show that he is going to or wants to stay on for more than what Musharraf has decreed."
"Precisely. He will go out with as little a whimper as Jamali."
"So there you go."
