I'm going to breed the pangolin
and sell it to Whipsnade Zoo.
Last week I learned the mandolin
(at least a chord or two.)
I used to be a trolley man
at a Tesco Superstore,
a week of that, then delivery man
for junk food door-to-door.
My girlfriends tell me to stick at things
- that simply isn't me -
I've bought a hundred engagement rings
but a wedding isn't to be.
I'm going to vote Conservative,
I've finally made up my mind,
and though they're quite derivative
at least they're not Labour, I find.
But someone's left the telly on,
with politics in black-and-white,
a vote for Nick feels really wrong-
d'you know? I think I might!
I hear my hope and glory bell
I wonder who could it be?
It's someone persuasive I can tell,
a man from the SNP.
The pollsters dog my every move,
as if my opinion mattered,
my answers only go to prove
my resolve is entirely shattered.

The floating voter - bane of all our lives. I prefer good old tribalism.
Nye Bevan once said, "Those who stand in the middle of the road tend to get run over."

Excellent Ewan, Just what most of us are thinking I would wager; well, definately me anyway. Just missing that cliche of 'if you don't vote then you have no right to a say,' those people are almost as bad as the parties themselves.
