Democracy is a system
Remember, that it's the worst of all possible systems
Apart from all the others that have been tried from time to time

So I have a fundamental confidence
That our system
For all its many flaws

And for all the mediocrities that it throws up when times are good
Will find great leaders when the times are tough
