Proposed poll date may lead to constitutional crisis

At the beginning of the “Animal Farm” all animals are equal. Enslaved, they fight as one to gain independence from their human masters. After gaining independence, the pigs take over the seats of their masters at the table. Now paranoid of another revolution, the pigs are more sadistic and cruel to their fellow animals. They become more equal than the rest.

George Orwell could have chosen any animal to rule. Greedy and insatiable, the animal that feasts on its own faeces was chosen to sit over the heads of the rest.
