The bigger picture of Political Suffrage

Pussycat pussycat where have you been?
  I've been to London to visit the Queen.
Pussycat pussycat what did you do there?
  I frightened a little mouse under the chair.

When preschool children were asked after learning the rhyme just what they think why the pussycat frightened the mouse under the queen's chair, adults would be amazed to their answers.
Kid's answers why the mouse was driven away  were: it will eat the queen's chair, it will bite the queen's gown, at nighttime it may eat the queen's cheese, it will mess everywhere and so many different answers.

Truly the sense of responsibility starts in the formative years and it was inculcated that early in children thru nursery rhymes and songs. Children can conceptualize that we should keep a watchful eye on the queen's welfare or on whoever runs the kingdom or the government.

We adults should not limit ourselves on keeping eyes during election periods only, the bigger picture of political suffrage is after elections...

Let us drive all the mouse away...
