No Holiday In The Sun

What will those in the liberal and free west
do when their government decrees that only half
the population can be citizens of their country,
and for those who are citizens, the government bans
them from forming any sort of political party? 

And where a government permits a political party
to be formed they even more reserve the right to ban it
from standing to be elected in the few places
it might win, in the country's upper and lower houses?

Such a hemmed in voting process is a tricky idea to crack,
when brutality is rife, and the jails are intimidatingly filthy,
as if the people who are kept inside them are not worth
the pittance the government pays for the prisoners to be put there.
 
What would those in the liberal and free west do
if in lieu of being able to form political parties
government permitted citizens to form political societies
where, apparently, the nature of the government
can be discussed, but such societies are excuses for spies
to listen, unawares, in on how citizens think,
in an exercise in agent provocateur thinking
where the government arrests independent thought
before it can find any significant expression.

Such a government does exist, it is presently
promoting itself in the liberal, rich, west
as a holiday destination, it's name is Bahrain
