The Wrong Lizard

In his science fiction spoof, So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, Douglas Adams described an alien planet as a democracy in which the people are ruled by lizards.

“The lizards rule the people, and the people hate the lizards,” we are told.

The hero asks why, if it’s a democracy, and if the people really hate the lizards, they don’t simply vote them out of office.

It’s explained to him that the people believe that, if they don’t vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard will get in.
