I see nothing in the rules that exclude a player with only a garrison 
involved in a battle from receiving political points for a victory. The 
relevant rule counts enemy corps, but puts no requirements on the victors. 
On the other hand, if a player on the losing side had only a garrison in 
the battle, he would lose no political points, because the wording on the 
PP chart restricts the loss to only those powers with corps involved.

BTW, I seem to recall seeing an article in The General once that suggested 
doing this very thing in order to score more PPs at no risk.
