General Infection

The 2010 General Election
Has resulted in a new direction
No one party has overall majority
Liberal Democrats hold power as a minority

Let’s hope for proportional representation
A truer reflection of the views of the nation
Better conditions for the poor
A National Health Service cure

The first Green seat has come to pass
The environment debated meaningfully at last
Carbon footprint measurement everywhere
As well as the level of Carbon Dioxide in the air

We spent millions on an election
Yet an Exit Poll produced perfect result detection
Why did we spend millions on an election?
When we always get let down by our selection

A lack of transparency and integrity
Fiddling expenses for their prosperity
A huge pension, a huge wage
A probable peerage when they leave the stage

Yet 65% of the Electoral Roll voted
And the radical view of the Sun was quoted
The Electoral system took it’s knocks
As people were turned away from the ballot box

Are you left wondering why?
This country will slowly die
When the people in power
Are such a useless shower

But the alternative is difficult to contemplate
A fascist state lying in wait
Communism is outdated and gone for ever
And politics means lies and deceit on the never never

You know it’s time for a change
Time for something strange
For the people to take control
And pull this country out of it’s hole

There are two main things that need to be resolved
Banks need to be devolved and controlled
People need to start to care
And to love each other everywhere

Back to the Sixties is where we should go
And Flower Power is what we should show
“Power To The People” did Cliff rejoice
Let the “Melting Pot” be mixed together out of choice

I’m sounding more and more like a politician
I keep going on and on
But the one thing we must reject out of hand
Is burying our heads in the sand
