And those in
power can stay there for the rest of their lives,
Though it
may be questionable whether democracy survives,
So a
compulsory voting law or fifty dollar fine at income tax time,
Would solve the

People might want binding referendums
and recall and what next?
Best to do nothing or say it’s constitutional

Whether it’s
federal, provincial or even city hall,
So how do we
get rid of a dreadful useless politician?
Could we get
recall in the constitution in the next edition?
