Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[Bear]

If he'd cut even further then he'd be even further away from his target. One thing I really wish the thickies of this country would learn is that managing the government's budget is nothing like managing a household budget

Yet again twisting what is being said to fit your agenda, still coming out with your twisted deceit, when will you actually grow up!

Is it not the Tories method of deficit reduction made via cuts? If it is and they actually achieved in ridding the deficit as you like to hold them to then would it not mean a lot more deeper cuts? If yes then you would be whining about the very deep cuts, therefore the whole premise of your argument is you whine about not ridding the deficit and you whine about the method of how they are trying achieving it.

I hate recent Labour voters attitude, which is why I voted against them.

Apparently wanting to work and take care of your own kids makes you heartless.

I was planning to vote Tory, however on election day something happened that brought home just how much damage they had done to the NHS and I couldn't go through with it, didn't matter as our Labour constituency switched to Tory, but still it's funny how things happen.

 

[Rosbif]

DUP are the obvious one, so after bitching about Labour potentially going into coalition with a small party nobody in England voted for, they'd do the same with one from N.I.

That is an absolutely terrible comparison.

The DUP are an openly and proud Unionist Party.

 

[Drizmod]

Rumours spreading already that Ed is getting the chop. Talk about party solidarity.

What you on about? He cant stay as the leader after losing a General Election! The country rejected him.

 

[ubersonic]

Ironically the Scottish vote actually significantly helped the Conservatives - exactly what the SNP didn't want!

Wouldn't matter, even if Labour got every vote in Scotland the Tories would still have a majority.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Any comment from Russell Brand?

Hopefully, he'll drown in his own froth after seeing the result.

 

[Von Smallhausen]

Latest - Ed Miliband to resign.

 

[Sunbed]

So where are the UKIP voters who made £50 bet they would get more than 4 seats?

I want to see screen shots.

 

[NexusK]

Yeah it's a joke this FPTP, no where near representative of the people's choices.

So UKIP should get the Kirkcaldy seat for example just because they have more voters somewhere down in in England?

 

[ElliorR]

It was always a hope that Labour could form the government but when lifelong Labour supporters like myself, though voted Green this time, do not like the party leader, as party leader since he may well be a nice bloke away from politics, and think his brother should have won, it doesn't bode well despite the fact our system is meant to be based on voting for your local MP and not the PM.

 

[Tefal]

No more waiting years to kick a terrorist or murderer out. I had a word with myself and we agree and are having a
bacon sandwich with extra bacon as a reward

ffs deuse i had things to do, but now i want a bacon butty.

plans will be delayed!

 

[McBain]

Hopefully, he'll drown in his own froth after seeing the result.

 

[robgmun]

Aha Ed Balls gone

Just got into work that this is a fantastic start to the day. Sad about UKIP but what happened to Labour last night is the next best thing for me

 

[antijoke]

Why do people think he's going to sell off the NHS?

 

[Tefal]

he already posted it

 

[Burnsy2023]

Them points on the BBC then:

UKIP with 3.5m votes, but 1 seat.
SNP with 1.5m votes but 50+ seats.


Top notch system, this FPTP.

The LibDems made it a priority to have a referendum on AV which was declined by the public. I lost my faith in the British public at that point.

If you make you're bed, you need to sleep in it.

 

[StriderX]

This is the single best election ever, all the morons being forced to leave

 

[Sankari]

Rumours spreading already that Ed is getting the chop. Talk about party solidarity.

That's pretty common though. Lose an election this badly and you can't expect to remain leader. Any other party would do the same.

 

[ElliorR]

Rumours spreading already that Ed is getting the chop. Talk about party solidarity.

He should be resigning asap as he has failed and now someone else needs to be leader.

 

[FTM]

Wouldn't matter, even if Labour got every vote in Scotland the Tories would still have a majority.

this to be honest

its the crashing lib dem vote that has swung those extra seats to the tories that has given them the majority

labour failing to swing enough seats in England has lost them this, not scotland
