Proportional Representation is possible
By
James Bredin

Why is it so difficult to bring about democratic change?
To impress on those at the top that we have gone a little strange,
Soft criminal justice, injection sites and needle exchange places,
It's called political correctness gone wild right in our faces.

Some politicians got there with a small proportion of the vote,
Due to our first-past-the-post system and what that did promote,
When three or more candidates ran, the vote was all spread out,
The combined loosers got many more votes than the winning lout.

Let's sit down and discuss proportional representation,
We could change instead of tolerating frequent frustration,
Of pompous politicians who shouldn't even be there,
Brought us political correctness and now it's not their affair.
