The 2016 Election

Heading for the next election,
Votes vied for by vicarious politicians,
Who are we all voting for?
Is it for their superannuation? Or,
Streamlining services to sway us,
Does Oz really need  such fuss?
We're walking on the winning side,
Let's have some more Hi-fives!
Debates due to direction,
Teen brain selfie obsessions,
These are our politicians, 
It's a short, amusing ride,
Someone pass vicarious pesticide!!!

I know, pretty slim pickings to choose from!:) Really liked your" teen brain selfie obsession" part especially and the ending was really good about the pesticide!
