The man who wasn't there
The isn't man, he wasn't there,
The isn't man, he wasn't there,
He wouldn't run, he doesn't care
To be the one who wouldn't win
And ends up writing for the Fin.
He wasn't there a lot today.
I think he hasn't come to stay;
Perhaps that's why some people say,
'I wish that man would go away.'

- just helping you out there Tim.
Indeed, I was saying that poem to myself the other day and thought, 'hmmm, reminds me of the Labor Party'. And in half an hour this little ditty was written. Not surprising to find out it's already inspired quite a number of parodies and imitations, it's very famous.
You're right, it IS reminiscent of the Labor Party, and I like your take.
