The importance of voting

Let’s focus on this election  
tax cuts, the NHS, stopping those boats  
Leave the Palestinian question  
or else cut your own political throat  
 
Be distracted with nonsense  
keeping democracy’s image afloat  
If it could actually make a difference  
do you think they’d give us a vote?  
 
It’s already decided  
we’re an inconsequential side note  
Far, far too easily divided  
by coloured pins on a coat  
 
Predictably sycophantic  
that ministerial gloat  
it sails the Atlantic  
to find yet another antidote  
 
So go cast your ballot  
what does that denote?  
The script has been written  
it won’t change what they’ve wrote
