Two Cheers For (Engineered) Democracy

Should we be wary or weary when,
even discounting the mighty power of A.I.,
and the mutability of the digital expression
of human character, the leaders of empires
lead us through manicured Public Relations
exercises designed to eliminate any doubt citizens
might have 
about their democratic credentials,
by raising the voters' levels of credulity and fear
to where they simply cannot think the obvious;
that when the system of change of government
allows 
only one serious candidate then the vote,
is more the coronation of the leader than anything else,
whilst the electorate lose their sense of choice and direction.
