Never Mind the Ballots[a] is the second studio album by the anarchist punk band Chumbawamba. Most of the songs center on lying politicians and their search for more voter control. It was originally released on cassette and LP, and re-released in the 1990s as half of the Chumbawamba compilation CD First 2, which is a combination of their first two LP albums released on a single CD.

Composition

The album's lyrics have been noted for criticizing all sides of the United Kingdom's political parties, particularly in the case of the song "The Candidates Find Common Ground."[8]

Release

The album was initially released in 1987. It was reportedly "rush-released" so that it would be available in time for the 1987 United Kingdom general election.[8] In 1991, it was reissued on CD along with Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records; the pair was released under the name First 2.[9]

The album was rereleased digitally on May 4, 2012, by Westpark Music.[10]

Impact
