Hung Parliament


It has been said by many political pundits since the General Election that it is not clear from the outcome what the voters wanted. 'Not so!' say I, for we want what Belloc dreamed of and made clear in his poem,

Epitaph On The Politician Himself

Here richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician's corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged I wept:
for I had longed to see him hanged.

By Hilaire Belloc
