Our Elections
Our elections are political parties having a fight,
About which one of their hidden agendas might be right,
Where those with an independent thoughts are forbidden,
They have to go off in a corner and stay strictly hidden.
Can’t vote for a prime minister by name or a senator,
The establishment will do that and they say, it’s not sinister,
It’s accepted as the long established Canadian way,
And nothing can ever be changed no matter what you say,
Can’t have set-date elections because they they are not liked,
Can’t have recall or binding referendums of any type,
Why do you think more than half Canadians don’t bother to vote?
If we had binding referendums, then we could really promote?
