Tea shop philosophy

Ay Vee it’s me, what d’ye think of
this coalition malarkey?

Alternative votes, makes yer sick
all them politicos thinks we’re
thick, Makes yer right cynical

Clegg’s argument polemical
it ain’t. Just one red herring…

Smoke and mirrors I’m fearing,
Tories don’t want no changes,
if we votes No the danger’s
we’re stuck with the nasty party.

Ay Vee I’m thinkin’ the same
this referendum’s just a game.

It’s a shame they asks us questions
just to get Clegg’s lot in with them
knowin’ the answer’s rubbish.
No votes will mean we’ve vote for
First past the post. They’ll publish
PR’s dead for all them Lib Dems.

Yeah Vee serves them right too I think
if voting yes makes Tories sink,
this A V malarkey just stinks.
But AV’s not PR dear Vee.

If voting yes makes us all pink,
this referendum’s the key
to free us from FPTP

Fancy a cup of tea Vee?
Nothing beats a nice cuppa
Come 5th of May we’ll have to see.

A V who needs it? C’est la vie
