The Working - Class Votes 2017

THE WORKING-CLASS VOTES 

We whom have lived in State homes for a long time; been constantly on and off welfare benefits; worked like slaves for low pay in smelly and dirty factories; stooped in shops which hold scant promise of promotion; bent and bowed as over-worked attendants in kitchens and bars; suffered battered bodies and winter's cold blasts whilst labouring on roads and wharves - all of which have done I; or, as did other brave labourers, risked their lives in the mines and the forests, and on the ships; or, sweated like staunch soldiers for meagre pay as clerks, forever marching towards the mirage, are not yet exhausted - for we know to vote into Government a political party which we now summon to benefit We,the suffering working-class.
