The Swiss Constitution... Dec 1st,2013 Poem by James Bredin

The Swiss Constitution allows referendums and recall,
The majority of Canadians never heard or read this scrawl,
The Swiss also allow assisted suicide so they're way ahead,
They have a more advanced form of democracy, it is said.

Our politicians think we don't need a better constitution,
We have Trudeau's Charter and that is our only solution,
The Swiss Constitution was adopted by popular vote,
All Canadians did not vote for the Charter Trudeau wrote.

The Swiss can easily change their Constitution if they like,
Canadians can change the Charter but the rules are long and tight,
I think it's way past the time that Canadians thought about change,
Referendums and political recall should be arranged.
