GE 2020: an appeal from the stands

we are electioneering again. are you following the action, a friend asks me. you bet! ah've been waitin' all of five years for this!

here is my wishlist for what i want to see from those running for office their back-office support plus all of us cheering from the sides:

• chivalry 
• kindness 
• vigorous debate 
• AND NO MUD

actually, if i could wish on, a single-vote-single-member system would be nice, instead of this GRC aberration. would you like to buy this sack of apples or would you prefer to choose them one by one, sir? there is no bulk discount, of course.

the dying thief rejoiced to see the fountain in his day

and there may i, though vile as he, wash all my sins away

the soul is flawed but the song is true
