PARTY BOUND … DEC 24TH,2012

By
James Bredin


Our Canadian politicians are reluctant to change,
They are instructed by their party that this is not strange,
Because party politicians can't have independent thoughts,
They have to follow the party agenda and not be distraught.




We should have an improved system where they have independence,
And not march in lock step, party-bound in their party dependence,
We should have proportional representation for us, who now vote,
With compulsory voting in the future so we all take note.




Though committed party members will scream that this is not sound,
And there is no other way because they have all been around,
But many political parties could be compared to religious cults,
It's the party - not the country - they want to improve and get results.
