We can sigh
Yay! Our candidate got in
Or we can cry
For with deposit lost she/he was rudely binned
We can list the failures of the previous regime
We can pray this government will kindly begin
To care for the people who gave them the mandate
Though I’ve a feeling our prayers are a little too late
We can ditch former friends who didn’t vote as we did
And maybe you’ll say to amend our attitudes
For such woes and wonts are the political vicissitudes

Aw, elections. I remember when one of our mythical “guarantees” was the peaceful transfer of power, accepting the outcome. The vicissitudes have become quite vicious.

You’ve said it so well Crispina. Fingers crossed that this new government is better than the last.

While I didn’t favour the old, neither do I favour the new. Our system needs a complete overhaul. But I’m not political these days
