They promised change. What we got was a bureaucratic shrug, a fresh coat of PR paint, and another round of “just be patient.” Spoiler: we’ve been patient. Now we’re just pissed.

🗳️ Democracy, But Make It Decorative

Welcome to the political funhouse mirror, where your voice echoes but never actually reaches anyone. Every five years, you get handed a ballot like it’s a golden ticket — only to discover the chocolate factory is run by the same bunch who poisoned the river in the first place. 🍫💩

“Change is coming,” they whisper, like it’s the messiah. But what shows up is the same wrinkled manifesto with a new font and a slightly more ethnically diverse photoshoot. Policies? Reheated leftovers from 2008. Accountability? As mythical as Bigfoot riding the Loch Ness Monster into a budget meeting.

Meanwhile, services disintegrate faster than the PM’s moral compass, while inflation throws hands at your wallet like it’s on a sugar crash. 🧾🔥

And heaven forbid a million people demand an election — the government treats it like spam. “Oh, you clicked the petition? Thanks for your interest, peasant. We’ll file that next to the unicorn licensing requests.”

Here’s the kicker: we’re not even asking for much. Just a democracy where we get to decide when the show’s over, not wait for the ringmaster to graciously step aside. 🎪🙄

We need tools with bite. Not the kind of “public consultation” that ends with a 60-page PDF summary no one reads — the kind that lets us pull the plug when the system flatlines. We’re not here for vibes. We’re here for accountability.

Because democracy isn’t supposed to be a polite suggestion box under 24/7 surveillance. It’s a loaded question with a very real answer — and we’re done whispering it.
