DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF EXPECTATION
By
James Bredin

In the first-past-the-post system, the loosers get elected,
And then the voters know that they have been disconnected,
Because more people voted against the one that was elected,
But then the system can't be changed as should be expected.

Collectively, the loosers got many more votes as a group,
But it doesn't matter because they are kept out of the loop,
And proportional representation is completely banned,
First-past-the-post is not how democracy should be planned.

The problem is that no political party wants change,
As their leaders pompously announce that this would be strange,
But most countries have adapted proportional representation,
To improve the democratic system of expectation.
