First Past the Post - Plan B

They call it first past the post

You live in a constituency

Kinda like an area code

There are 650 of these

Various zones

Up and down the country designed to compartmentalise votes

Check the system

Listen

The prime ministerial candidate with the most votes don’t always win in this

system

Our votes only count towards helping some random politician in our local

jurisdiction better his position

Come closer

Listen ere

Only takes a third of the population to give a party the majority they need to

win

Even if more people in total across the UK

I.E the real majority vote against them getting in

Yeah the systems kinda fucked and it doesn’t seem fair

But that’s the way it is here and also over there

In the USA where the air’s already turned sour

Cause more people voted for Hillary but Trump still got into power

But check the loophole

It’s called tactical voting

If you live in an area where most of your neighbours are a mix of blue and red

and are practically neck to neck in the polling

And the yellow party are the party you’ve invested all in your hopes in

And your vote will probably be in vain

I know this sounds insane

And probably makes you feel like you’d do better if you just abstain

And didn’t vote for no one

Like ‘fuck ‘em they all the same'

No one represents me or my peoples anyways

But what if one party is the best of a bad bunch, and you’d rather them get

into power than those other lying cunts

What then?

Think practically

The only way of ensuring the worst don’t happen is by voting tactically

I.E voting for the party you hate least so the one you hate most don’t just win

automatically

In the past this has worked with those of you liberals in the centre who’ve

voted pragmatically

Accepting things the way they are without trying to change them dramatically

Cause you know you’ll lose systematically

We’re living in different times now, unprecedented

Trump and his daughter political system no matter how demented and augmented

can be dented

You ain’t gotta go out and vote the same way your family and friends did

So go on roll the dice and play the game

Not all constituencies are the same

Some are red, some are blue and some are altogether strange mixes of the two

that hang in the balance

And you might do well by putting your X up on that ballot

Throw some seasoning in that salad

Just try and swing it hope your party win it

That seat in the commons still has some value in it

Even if your party ain’t running government they can have a voice within it

Veto policies they don’t agree with

They’re the party in control of trying to pass through and get them beated,

like when Boris tried to provo parliament and got defeated

Fuck how you want to live now

This is about how you want to move forward

What kind of future you want for your sons and your daughters

And all you OAP’s out there

The ones that are probably going to die in the next 10 years anyway

Why don’t you ask your fifteen, sixteen year old grandkids who they’d vote for

if they could and go vote for them

Your generations already fucked up the environment for them

How about not fucking up their futures for them aswell?

On your marks, get set, go

First past the post

That’s what they call the system we use in this country when we vote

Cameron said that Britain’s broke

But the only thing that’s broke in Britain is the system, trust me,

it’s a fucking joke

Just a two horse race like Lidl and Aldi

Fuck where you do your Christmas shopping man

All they wanna know is you an innie or an outie

They don’t wanna see your belly button man

You don’t wanna live to regret this

Second chance to stay or head for the exit

Obviously I’m talkin about Brexit

Yeah that’s right we’re all still talking about Brexit

This ain’t no super complex shit, it’s simple

Fuck how these politicians flexin'

Trying to make this shit about their parties policies

When ain’t nothing moving forward til this problems been corrected

So vote Tory if you want to be free from European influence and become the 51st

state of the US when it comes to trading

Or vote Labour and have another referendum on whether we leave the EU now that

everyone’s more informed about the situation

If you’re worried about Jeremy stifling wealth creation and don’t wanna vote

for Boris cause you fucking hate him

Then vote lib dem in the consistencies they have a realistic stake in

Or the green party, I hear some of you shoutin

Respect if that’s where you stand your ground in

Or any of the other smaller independent parties in the areas they have some

actual clout in and force a hung parliament

So no mother fucker has the majority and we get another coalition government

The choice is yours

Vote with your head and your heart in equal measures

Now that you’re better informed

Take your vote and

Go and ruffle some fuckin feathers

Oh and merry Christmas

What’s at the top of your wish list?

Apart from wrapping up this whole dirty stinking business

Go out and get voting

After that you can get the smoke in and crack the tins open

Cause you need a clear head for what’s approaching, no joking

Trust me the games wide open, you know what to do

Hit the likes on this bitch, it needs promoting
