Democracy Has Bad Taste

In this age of multi-platform mass media
democracy is the most widely celebrated

They all want to attract the largest mass of voters.
Whichever act wins, the public have to be
encouraged to misremember the last show
as quickly as possible afterwards, for the bump
and grind of government legislation to continue....
