1340 - First past the polls

It's general election day here in Britain
I voted a few days ago by post
Liberal Democrat was my chosen
Party, to shake up the first past the post
Electoral system that has kept closed
The door of Number Ten to all men but
The Tories and Labour, who both opposed
Proportional representation. What
Will happen tonight? It's likely there'll not
Be a clear majority government
Whatever happens, Brown may not be toast
Just yet. Working with Clegg, he could stay put
But voters wouldn't be impressed, and then
Maybe there'll be in-fighting for his post
