Compulsory Voting
By
James Bredin

Compulsory voting and binding referendums are not allowed,
Neither are US type propositions so don't feel so proud,
You might wonder what our politicians could tax or screw up next,
We cannot recall them or fire them under any pretext.

Do you remember that promise about a set-date election?
They were busy at the time so there was a disconnection,
And their parole boards are busy too, allowing cons out of jail,
The remainder are worried about global warming in case we fail.

A little more than half Canadians might or might not vote,
And proportional representation is not allowed in this boat,
But we need leadership to bring about some decent change,
Compulsory voting and referendums should be arranged.
