Eighteen Months Ago They Were Feted

Eighteen months ago they were feted as heroes their praises the majority did sing
But the majority has dwindled to a minority human allegiance can be a fickle thing
The opinion polls for them not looking healthy whilst the opposition parties are doing well
The Government parties not popular with voters their policies they cannot sell
That the the previous Government left them with financial problems to the voters they use as an excuse
For their poor performance in Government though the blame game to their cause of little use
The voters do not need excuses only a good performance of governing them will satisfy
In the opinion polls they have the Government on notice to voice their disapproval the voters not shy
In eighteen months the majority have dwindled to a minority the Government with the voters on the nose
Eighteen months can seem an eternity in politics and this is life one must suppose
If an election were to be held tomorrow the Government would lose in a landslide
But the election is not due for eighteen months so the present incumbents have time on their side
Eighteen months ago they were heroes but those who then feted them as heroes now want them out
They have eighteen months to get the voters back on their side but their capability of this many doubt.
