Analysis of Selected elect
Uncertainty and indecision,
wrapped up in falsehood and illusion.
Ambiguous possible outcomes,
richly flavoured with questionably confident promises.
The play has begun yet the stage is unsteady,
while cast are unsure of their lines.
Its a democratic sell out,
the final curtain call.
