Wonderful; excitingly contemporary. Very well done. Thanks.
There's something completely deadpan about this that captures the non-partisan malaise, the exact political environment in which we live. Also, the poem gives the old expression–gone to the dogs–new meaning.
Thanks everyone for the great comments! You have encouraged me to consider painting a haiga using this senryu. Maybe it will be ready in time for the next election season — I have a feeling it will still be current!
Another interesting information and great. I will share with my friends the same reference. Really thank you sharing this, hope the new share more and more from you. Really thank you.

Good solid verse, well worth putting up at every election going on in your area too. :-)

This one should make it into a collection of witty haibun/senryu.
