Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[Ayahuasca]

Somehow a Tory majority and a Lib Dem party left in shreads just doesn't seem just.

Just shows how fickle a lot of voters are, wouldn't back Clegg again because he lied about tuition fees but will quite happily back Cameron who also lied about many things.

Parliaments seemed to average about 4 years until the coalition put in place fixed terms.

That might be so, but an act of parliament fixed it at 5 years. It's worrying that people don't seem to know this.

Miliband with unfortunate cadence in his speech. On Harriet Horrific Harman

"I was happy to have had her.............(far longer pause than appropriate)..... as my deputy"

I lolled a bit at that.

She's as unelectable as Milliband, bring it on, maybe will have a 3rd Tory term

I hope he eats another bacon sandwich before leaving the podium.

There are a few people on this forum who promised to leave the country if the Conservatives won a majority. I wonder how they are getting on with their packing?

I didn't promise, but I'm seriously looking into it.

I'm somewhat worried by a Tory government alone. I imagine snoopers charter is on its way back.

Even though I voted Tory I was hoping for lib dems to restrain them somewhat.

 

[robfosters]

Cameron has obliterated the opposition!

That might be so, but an act of parliament fixed it at 5 years. It's worrying that people don't seem to know this.

Its worrying that people are unfamiliar with every bit of legislation passed by the previous government?

I think the truth is YOU thought that five years was the norm and were unaware things had just changed. Otherwise, your criticism just seems petty.

Which one is it?

Time to step up Andy Burnham.

My money is on Chukka Umuna

 

[Jono8]

I'm simply saying that fewer than 1 in 4 adults in the UK voted for the current majority government. Simple as that.

Ok, but what is your point?

 

[Tombstone]

Cameron has obliterated the opposition!

Cue the memes !

 

[CREATIVE!11]

Lol, Clegg fearmongering about fear....


Although to be honest, I agree with him - I don't like how fear-driven a lot of politics seems to be these days.

Yep,

All I saw from them was fear mongering, how many people who actually voted conservative could sit me down and give a detailed explanation why they voted them back in? we live in the information age you don't have to dig very deep to find it.

Bet you very few, because most people have no idea what they are ACTUALLY doing to this country, no idea if labour is any better.

This system is flawed and it's pointless. God help the UK if they leave the EU, there will be nothing stopping them turning this place into the next little america protecting big businesses whilst taking a dump on the people.

 

[Gee]

Hahaha

Tribute, lovely ale that.

Just to put your mind at rest, it was a typo. I don't tend look at what I'm posting before clicking submit. You should see my text messages sometime.

(made sure I read this before clicking submit)

Ed as leader is a disaster and has been since David was left in the gutter...it would be different otherwise.

I doubt it. Their policies would have been broadly similar and their approach to public spending would have been identical. The outcome would have been the same.

Its worrying that people are unfamiliar with every bit of legislation passed by the previous government?

It's pretty much one of the most simplest things to know.

I think the truth is YOU thought that five years was the norm and were unaware things had just changed. Otherwise, your criticism just seems petty.

You are wrong.

Theresa May stated on TV last night the snoopers charter would be pushed straight through now the Lib Dems are not there to block it.

Miliband going after this afternoon's VE celebration.

And good riddance to him.

He said himself we need a strong Labour Party.

Indeed we do, he didn't give us that and by God he'd have given us a weak one had he got into power.

I hope Labour finally accept their past mistakes, acknowledge them and come back as the strong opposition they could and should have been all along.
