Race on as Fahim’s star sinks

As per the news item in the daily dawn of 1st March 2008, Zardari is trying to block Amin Fahim from becoming PM of Pakistan.
Is it true democracy that Asif Zardari is trying to take away PM spot from Amin Fahim since he threatens to become more popular than him and/or trying to nominate a pliant PM who would resign after 3 months when Zardari enters the parliament on bye election.

If the news item is to be believed then it would mean that PPP is not a sincere party and its slogan of National Concensus, just meant that they want to remove Musharraf to get the sole power and hence start looting the country, with its corrupt policies, once again.
I hope I am wrong and we never see a repeat of 1988-1999 corrupt governments of PPP and PML (N). And I believe that only Shariah can stop politicians from treating elections as business ventures rather than as a means to serve their country.
