Donor or Voter
Donor or Voter
MP's prefer donors to voters
because they want to be property owners.
Our representatives are bought
before we are caught.
They are there for the money
irrespective of our penury.
A two party state
I do not rate.
If a one party state is a dictatorship
what is a two party state?
When they have their donation
they foresake the nation.
Don't vote for the big two
because they know they already have you.
Let's open up the field
and see what is the yield.
More political parties of our choice
to give us a real voice.
The voters should have the power
let the donors find someone else to devour.

A well-written and provocative poem, Keith, even if I do not take quite such a dim view of politicians and the system. We can always do better, or worse.. In Belgium we have a multiplicity of parties and usually end up with frustrating, compromised coalitions. And in Russia and China your vote simply doesn't count at all.
Perhaps societies just get the politicians they deserve.
