The Labour Party Leadership Election

Now Mr. Milliband is gone,
The Labour Party's moving on,
With plans to choose another man,
Or woman, as all parties can.
A person who they really hope
Will prove they're strong enough to cope
With showing their ideas are sound
When twenty twenty comes around.
The four contestants in the race
In the coming days will face
Calls to prove they are the one
Best qualified to get things done.
Each has their own ideas of course,
Which they declare with fervid force,
Of where the Party's future lies,
And none make efforts to disguise
The fact they feel that it is they
Best able at this time to sway
The voters from their present stand
To join the Labour Party band.
Jeremy Corbyn's in the lead;
On present polls he will not need
To bother with the second votes
As his percentage lightly floats
Past the fifty mark so he
Would gain an outright victory.
Way behind comes Andy's vote,
Yvette's and then the last to note,
Liz Kendal with a paltry eight,
It looks as if if is her fate
To lose her chance and not become
The Labour Party's Number One.
But things could change, and one can't know
Exactly how a vote will go
Until the crosses have been placed
And candidates at last are faced
Not with polls, but an actual count
Which gives them all the real amount
Of votes received, which may not be
The ones predicted formerly.
