Universal Suffrage
Oh we British love to chunter
About politics and such
But if they don't bother to vote
They just can't care very much.
And if they don't use that right
Then get shat on from on high
Serves them bloody right for
Letting that rare chance roll by.
For many people fought
And many people died
To give us the right
To help decide.
If you're one of those
Who voted for the far right
Tough shit baby
You voted for this shite.
And if you're one of those
Who didn't bother to turn out
Then tough shit again,
You've lost the right to shout.
Now fascist rule with just
A vote of twenty three percent
And our political nous
Just upped and went.
I can't understand
How so many were fooled,
This is how the Tories
Have always ruled.
It's no good just whinging
That life's a bitch
Dodgy Dave and Grinning Gideon
Just task the poor to help the rich
And they'll take away
Our hard earned rights
If we don't soon stand and fight.
In this land of Magna Carta,
Land of the Welfare State,
Where the family jewels are
In pawn to the Tory's mates.
Oh we British love to chunter
About politics and such
But if they don't bother to vote
They just can't care very much.

Having experienced many elections in my eighty six years, I'm just grateful the human race is a little more civilized these days in the ways of exploitation. The basic principle of creatures eating one another for survival has not and never will change. It's just the way we go about it now.(in the nicest possible way) I throughout my life without exception have never noticed any significant change to the quality of life for the man in the street subsequent to a change of administration no matter the shade. For most
life is too short to notice any of the super, protracted improvements there might have been. "It's Gods fault"
