When every vote is counted then our system will be fair.

Democracy will flourish whe-en all our views are aired.

We cherish the diversity that PR will provide.

It’s worked everywhere it’s been tried.

 

         Proportional representa-a-tion.

         It’s the best thing for our na-a-tion!

         It’s the fairest system we know!

         The fairest way to go!

 

First past the post has long a-go become passe!

For true democracy.…. there is a better way!

Minorities and women will all get a better shake!

It’s something we must undertake!

 

         Proportional representa-a-tion.

         It’s the best thing for our na-a-tion!

         It’s the fairest system we know!

         The fairest way to go!
