Pain, Campaign, Attain, Gain?

Governments live by statistics
Its a big numbers crunching game
Leaders lie with analytics
To hide the reality lame

As bait and debate turn irate
By pretentious politicians
Regarding economic state
Mindful of nearing elections

More numbers keep oscillating
Figures vary and polls figure
Damning, detracting, distracting
Parties rush to reconfigure

Candidates campaigns are rooted
To ensure rivals are routed
Electors re-inspired, voted
Hoping for Electees devoted
