The Lyrics

PPE is the Politics, Philosophy and Economics degree that seems to be shared by an awful lot of party leaders and wannabe leaders
When I'm looking at who runs the country
Where he went to univers'ty
Yes, t'was Oxford Uni PPE
That means he studied Politics
Economics, and Philosophy
Got an Oxford Uni PPE
PPE, PPE, Oxford Uni degree
PM went to Brasenose, PPE

And when the Labour Party members
Need a leader, who'll it be?
Guess what his degree is: PPE.
Ed Balls, for a start, he's gone one
He studied for his at Ke-
Ble College Oxford, PPE
PPE, PPE, one more Oxford degree
It's what the people vote for, PPE

And what about the brothers, Mili-
Band, yes what d'you think we'll see?
Both of them have got one, PPE
Both of them alumni.. you guessed it
Oxford University
In their case, Corpus Christi, PPE
PPE, PPE, Milibands Ed & D
If you want to rule, do PPE

Last there is Nick Clegg
Who is the Prime Minister's Deputy
Studied Social anthro.. pology
What's more that was Cambridge, but
His thesis later on, we see:
On political phil..osophy
(Not) PPE, but you see.. Nicky C still can be
Another pro-politico, PPE


PPE, PPE, PPE, PPE
Professional politicians do PPE

Ha... Roughly the same over here across the pond. The majority of politicians are former barristers, so they all have political science degrees [though economics is not included, as evidenced by the financial messes...) :)

Perfect

Good job. Trust me - you DON'T want somebody with music education degrees in government. ;D

:-) Thanks

Fiddlegirl - wouldn't that mean they have law degrees? We've just had a PM with one of those, and I ain't convinced by the legality of everything he did...

Reeshar - Merci. Well, it was your idea...

OMR - Depends if they've got soul :-)

Phil- You caught me... Yes, but the law degree is post-baccalaureate level. The pre-law track at most universities here is largely geared toward poli-sci, so it pretty much amounts to the same thing. [BTW, sometimes it seems a mistake to allow government members to "police" each other-- like the old saying about bringing the fox in to guard the henhouse...]
