Whether
Conservative, Liberal,
or
Labor, I think
you’ll get
a kick out of
this!

A little boy goes to his
dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let
me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the
family, so call me The Prime Minister.

Your mother is the
administrator of the money,

so we call her the Government.

We are here to take care
of your needs, so we will call you the People.

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes
off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he
hears his baby brother crying,

so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby
has severely soiled his nappy.

So the little boy goes
to his parents’ room

and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her,

he goes to the nanny’s room.
Finding the door locked,

he peeks in the keyhole and

sees his father in bed with the nanny.

He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the
little boy says to his father,

‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. ‘

The father says,

‘Good, son, tell me in your own words
what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies,

‘The Prime Minister

is screwing the Working Class

while the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored and
the Future is in deep shit.’
