Canadians Need Direct Democracy
Canadians need direct democracy where the few do vote,
I realize that this idea is particularly remote,
We could force our politicians to change laws and pay heed,
With binding referendums where Canadians are all agreed.
But our established elites want nothing rearranged or changed,
That means that binding referendums will be looked on as strange,
Plus no set-date or mid term elections allowed in this land,
With participatory democracy and propositions banned.
Establishment types hate plebiscites because it might interfere,
Where they occupy the private-club high ground and are sincere,
Among civil servants, appointees, politicians and judges,
Information on the Internet might not get many nudges.
