General Election Blues

How Will Britain Vote in the General Election?

Tony Payne
The sixth of May is Election time
In the UK it's time to vote
Gordon Brown has been really bad news
It's time to cast him out

The Labour Party has run it's path
And done things that are shady
The last good leader in my opinion
Was Maggie, our "Iron Lady"

So who do you vote for this time around
Is it Labour, Liberal or Tory?
Do you vote for the party you want to succeed
And hope that they achieve glory

Or do you vote to kick Labour out
Hoping everyone else does the same
Like all elections it's a gamble
With so much to lose or gain

Labour offers little for me
With costs going up evermore
The Conservatives don't convince me either right now
So how do I vote - I'm not sure

The Liberals are fairly new on the scene
But their MP's have always been few
If Labour and Tories are not up to scratch
This time my vote might go to you

But what if I vote for the Liberals
And they don't win, but Tories don't either
That means that Labour could stay in control
I don't want to see that neither

So should I vote Tory and play it safe
Or Liberal to give them their turn
I'd like to see the UK flourish and thrive
I've a vote that I'd rather not burn

The voting day is fast coming around
To the television I will be glued
Should Gordon Brown get enough votes to win
I am sure to say something quite rude

So vote all you British, and help Blighty out
Give the Liberals a chance if you dare
When Gordon is ousted from Number Ten
Give a cheer, throw your hats in the air

    Great work... once again.

    I agree with Mike -- nobody likes either party much. But to vote for a third one would split the vote and bring in the party we hate the most!

    It would be nice if we in the US had more than two parties of power! Our system has become too polarized to be useful.

    Ah, the freedom of choice.

  • Mike Powers4/26/2010

    Excellent, Tony!

    Very creative, Tony. I know it's not relevant, but I really like that EU parliament member from the UK, Daniel Hannan.
