That's going to keep it open longer now
I like democracy, as long as I get what I want.

Can the mods start removing useless posts like yours then... Everyone has a different opinion, some are more passionate about their opinion. Which everyone has a RIGHT to have, it's pretty bloody obvious there are going to be conflicts of opinion especially when it comes to matters which affect the whole country...

No explanation yet but there will be an official inquiry into the polling.
All the pollster sites are extremely quiet this morning with egg on their face.

I earn well below the national average and still voted Conservative, and so did quite a few in my area. Mainly low earners.

Wow we're going back to fundamentals here.
If life were fair and everyone had exactly the same prospects then it might be fair to tax everyone the same. In actual fact we have very low social mobility in the UK.
I don't accept this and I have already explained why.
If you can't afford to raise children properly then don't have them in the first place. I don't see that inequality is an issue, I am fine that I am paid more than 98% of the population but less than the top 2%. Social mobility is too often used as a crutch to explain a lack of drive and ambition.
A progressive tax system unfairly penalises those who have been successful. I have no interest in my wealth being redistributed thank you very much.

Everyone has their reasons for voting for who they did, a lot just voted to prevent a labour government which was caused by a large amount of Tory scaremongering.
You shouldn't need to use the 5% help to buy scheme though.

You sound like a typical tory voter. Not everyone is capable of earning big bucks... So earning less means they are unsuccessful? Oh please, stop spouting so much ****.

Meh, forum is made up of right wing, conservative posters. This poll, opinions, and reactions should be absolutely no surprise to anyone whom post or reads the forum.

But it was a nice gesture to have.
The house prices haven't moved much in the East Midlands, this gives a lot of people an edge.

He sounds like a man in debt to his eyeballs to me
What are you basing that on? Other than our mortgage, we have none.
Redistribution of wealth needs to happen by those not working getting to work. Or those working and wanting more working better/harder/changing jobs.
Redistribution of wealth where schemes are put in place to rob the hard working middle classes to support the poor are never going to be popular nor are they going to work. You get to the working middle class where your income is comfortable by not wallowing in self pity and jealousy.

Yeah, hate that mentality. Some people will just never earn big money.
Look at Care Workers. They will never , ever earn big but they are greatly needed. Unsung heroes really.

Where have I said they were less successful? If you are going to be outraged, then at least quote me correctly.
I think they won for the following reasons
Euro sceptic (ish) only viable party as people don't trust or have faith in ukip and you don't have to feel like a racist voting tory
inheritance tax cut
help to buy scheme
pension freedom (people licking their lips at cashing in that pension then demanding the state looks after them after they blow all the money)
All four of these play right in to old peoples desires, bet they are licking their dentures at the thought of all this new council stock that's going to end up in their buy to let portfolios

Thank goodness you aren't Chancellor.
I spent quite a bit of time writing that post, it would be nice if you'd engaged your brain for a moment.

And Ashdown needs to get that hat eaten!
Somebody also said he would eat his kilt if Labour numbers(exit poll) were that low.
