262

entry picture

I hear it said Theresa needs to go, quick and clean

“She’s got no right to govern with seats of just 318”;

But does it ever occur unto you,

How come that Jezza does with 262?

 

I know that I’m no Mastermind nor am I entirely green;

It baffles me a little though why it is May’s 318

Is thought to be a number too few

Compared with Jezza’s fewer 262.

 

They say she has no mandate; they say that’s what they mean;

She lost a good majority and won just 318;

But help me out understanding the view

That Jezza Corbyn does with 262.

 

Each time I hear the call from Lefties, well I have to laugh

They chant the mantra of their arithmetic schoolboy gaffe;

Each night I ask the stars up above

The sums that mean they’ll give Theresa the shove.

MC. I confess I've had a soft spot for Rees-Mogg for a while, even though my politics don't overlap his. Politics needs people like him along with a couple of my other favourites, Boris and Diane Abbott.
Your Everly Bros suggestion for a R-M parody uses a source a good bit older than mine, which will no doubt soon be revealed.

Another worthwhile adaptation of a song from my own
youth...but with an unanswerable question to add to the
memory.
The inspiration from this even-handed source does not flag!
By the way, Rees-Mogg was on Thursday's Question Time
and got more texts - virtually all appreciating the measured tone and content of his answers - than the rest of the panel put together.
As for any song featuring the man himself - I have the Everly Brothers
"Bird Dog" going round in my mind!!
"Jacob gazes at Theresa - he's all Rees then ...praises when he sees her...
he's all Rees then...but when he praises Brexit..he's a Mogg then...saying time to exit - he's a Mogg then...
Jacob says it how it is - and gets
the rest in such a tizz - he's a Rees-Mogg then!. :-)
I look forward to hearing your LOL
skills brought to bear on J.R-M.

You may well be right, Harry. It is difficult to call whether the momentum towards Labour will sustain or whether this is as close as they will get.

John,
My own guess is that another election (even now) would probably end up as - give a few seats swinging here and there - the status quo.

Looking forward to your Rees Mogg thing!
