Socialist Calculation, Chapter Umpteenf

A French party primary vote cast doubt
On whether the organisers could count.

Shares of the vote were shown
Before the turn-out was known,

Which is proof of a mathematical rout.
And of that not a shadow of doubt !

(No fake news here. Refers to the presidential primary, first round, by France’s Parti Socialist on January 20. Run off on Jan. 27)
