To join, or not to join: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The twists and turns of Mandelson and Gordon
Or to take arms in a dark deal with Cam’ron
And while opposing back him? To lose: to win:
To choose, and by a pact to say we end
The few score seats and by-election shocks
Our party’s heir to: ‘tis a consumation
Devoutly to be missed.
