Here's a couple that aren't featured, but to my mind should be, Fogerty & McGuire.

May not be classed as political but the words of the Troggs, "in the year 25/25 are coming to pass.

Eric Burdon and the Animals - We Gotta Get Out of This Place

This was very popular amongst the British Forces in Borneo in the '60s, not just M.A.S.H.

Re: What is the greatest political song?

Hi, so far most of the suggestions have been quite dated, I could go further back and mention the Diggers Song, but I'd like to venture a couple of more contemporary efforts.
I wouldn't claim to be the "Best" but they are great and written in Accy :-)
Poundland challenges the overall inbalance in the social divide
While Operation Dumb Down explores the govts systematic destruction of the British pub scene following the gospel according to David Icke :-)
Enjoy
