Into the Woods

I found myself developing my Orwellian political satire's plot. The Animal's have had the rule of the roost for a mere 200 years, but have started to slip up. They have somehow let their government go out of control with wasteful spending and for some reason they can't understand how they've come down to only two coices. Somehow the Elephants and Donkeys have taken control of the animal government and created a two party system. There however was soon to be a spark with the  Caterpillars wanting to go back to the roots of the animal system. This new party was simply named the leaf party after the caterpillar's favorite snack. It had a diverse amount of animals stepping forward and not just Elephant and Donkey loyalists like the other two parties. The silent majority was angered by how both the Elephant and Donkey parties have run their government. It was no longer a government run by the animals for the animals and of the animals, but a corrupt government.
