You have seven cows. Instead of being an outright dictator, you make up the pretense of fairness and let them vote for representatives. You, your father, and your farm hand are the only candidates. The three of you campaign all week and annoy the cows. In the end only one cow votes successfully (for you), three cows' votes (for the farm hand) are thrown out, three cows are too lazy to get up and vote. In total, eight votes are counted in your favour because you are using the Diebold voting machine. You claim you have the Moodate to rule and so expect the cows to produce twice as much milk from now on. You then send the cows to invade your dictatorial neighbours so their sheep can have the same freedom too.
