We Could All Agree... Oct 22nd,2013 Poem by James Bredin

Could we rewrite the Constitution to fix our DWD affairs?
And get binding referendums so politicians have to care,
Then we the people could rule, rather than the aristocrats
And this could avoid the occasional political spat.

But how do we get our politicians to pay attention?
A changed Constitution could do it without causing much tension?
The political agenda should be ours and open
Not secret party stuff - no DWD, compulsory votes - broken

Media moguls and compliant journalists don’t care,
Like politicians, locked into some party agenda in this affair
And the next throne speech should emphasize the changes we need
And with a changed Constitution; we should be all agreed.
