Conservatives might be the political party
in your country most ready to steal an election
through data slicing the electorate, overspending
on publicity and plain telling lies so fast
that nobody can tell they are lies until long after.

But even if they fail to get elected 
they will still be the first and best to teach other parties
how to break the rules for getting elected
on a similarly false prospectus.

When we lend our votes
to autocratic leaders of parties
who care more about the engineered vote
than those who choose to vote for them
it is not just some rhetorical act
on the part of the individual voter
of shared and normalised masochism
but also the death of individualism
that we say that we seek to uphold.
