Wasting Votes
“Come on guys, lets waste some votes!”
Say the blokes in their blue coats.
“Let’s vote no in the referendum
And tell the others where to stick ‘em.
Their opinion is worth nothing
Leave their parties to do the cussing.
I don’t care if they don’t get heard
Our parties are what we prefer.”
Everyone votes for First Past the Post
In a vote that’s skewed more than most,
Receiving leaflets through the door
Telling us it’s AV to abhor.
“So you’re saying the winner doesn’t win?”
Cry the morons slowed with whisky and gin.
“What if the BNP get in?
It’s a shambles from within!”
Come on, now, are you that dumb?
We agree that they’re scum.
We don’t want them any more
Than some shit dropped through our door.
But the fact that people do
Is not ours to eschew.
Their opinions aren’t worth less
Than the ones that you keep best.
You have to learn to disagree
If you want democracy
And this scores points for the AV
Where things are sorted logically.
I’m fed up with wasted votes
And being stuck with these jokes,
A bit of thought and I’m sure you’ll know
That “Vote AV” is the way to go.
