Nothing anything like to straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;Odd,&#8220; said Arthur, &#8222;I thought you said it was a democracy.&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;I did,&#8220; said ford. &#8222;It is.&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;So,&#8220; said Arthur, hoping he wasn&#8217;t sounding ridiculously obtuse, &#8222;why don&#8217;t the people get rid of the lizards?&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;It honestly doesn&#8217;t occur to them,&#8220; said Ford. &#8222;They&#8217;ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they&#8217;ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;You mean they actually vote for the lizards?&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;Oh yes,&#8220; said Ford with a shrug, &#8222;of course.&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;But,&#8220; said Arthur, going for the big one again, &#8222;why?&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;Because if they didn&#8217;t vote for a lizard,&#8220; said Ford, &#8222;the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;What?&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;I said,&#8220; said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, &#8222;have you got any gin?&#8220;<br \/>\n&#8222;I&#8217;ll look.
