With the UK General Election called for the 4th of July, Indie rock band Beldon Haigh release another banger of a satirical political anthem. The song and video, entitled 'Elected', is a tapestry of pop, rock, punk and narrative story-telling, which immediately engages the listener with the catchy hook, 'All I hear is blah, blah, blah'.  
The song delivers a humorous take on the election, whilst capturing the nation's general disillusionment with politics and politicians of all persuasions. Lyrics include the immortal line, 'I don't wanna be inspected, I just want to get elected.'
The mischievous vocals are sure to be a hit with live audiences during a series of residency gigs by the Scots-based band at Edinburgh's celebrated Whistle Binkies music bar during the forthcoming Fringe Festival in August. Whilst the song contains themes of a general disillusionment with politics and politicians of all persuasions, the band are still keen to encourage people to vote for the party of their choice. 
“Politicians need to persuade us that they and their parties are worth voting for, that they are deserving of our support,” said the band's frontman and songwriter Justin Skelton.
"Everywhere you look there is a new crisis, but instead of addressing real issues we hear the same old tropes and platitudes and too many politicians use the same old tired tactics and dog whistles. If you hear nothing but the usual 'Blah, blah, blah' when a politician is talking – then that's a sure sign they are not addressing things that really matter to you. However, it's never been more important to make your voice heard, so use your vote however you see fit."
