LOL pathetic. Guardian readers don't claim benefits.
Man of Honour
Delighted with the majority win, was pleased as punch with the exit poll predictions, but for it to end up with a majority is just brilliant.
The country is in safe hands for another 5 years at least
Unlucky poor people

Is this the same approach Cameron used to vilify the SNP by accusing them of all sorts so he could get votes south of the border ?
If I hear one more Labour politician try to blame the SNP for letting the Tories in...
Scotland and the SNP had zero impact on the Tories. If the SNP hadn't won any seats and Labour had retained all of them, the Tories would still have had a majority!

Yeah but the Tories managed to successfully exploit people's fears of a Lab/SNP coalition to win seats in England. The SNP were delighted to push those buttons too.
I think it's fair to say that he was pretty much correct in that respect.
You would have a party who got less than 5% of the vote holding their coalition partners to ransom over every decision or leave a minority labour government unable to govern.
The SNP would not only have a disproportionate amount of seats for its vote share, the lowest amount of votes required per seat of any party, it would also hold a disproportionate amount of power over the rest of the UK.

you are fooling yourself if you didnt think the media banging on about labour having a gun totheir head by snp didnt sway quite a few english voters at the last minute
Labour shot themselves in the foot over Scotland, they forgot they had to Molly coddle them to stand any chance of being re-elected.
Let's see how long it takes them to realise it's the SNP they need to be targeting over the next five years and not the Tories.

I give it 6 months until some of the tory voters start complaining about who they voted in.

Paddy Ashdown looks permanently on the verge of tears on Question Time - he's dishing out punishment to Maude, Campbell and Swinney though

And that, my friends, is why FPTP is undemocratic, outdated and letting us all down badly.
Your vile venom shows what a horrible little man you are. Crying? you ****ing wish, it's at worst bitter-sweet for me and your smugness is bizarre and foolish because Labour and Lib-dems utterly crumbled and your precious Greens went absolutely nowhere, even your commie buddy in arms George Golloway lost his seat in a spectacular fashion, how i howled with laughter when that happened. The left of politics took an absolute beating last night and out of our opposing ideologies, you had the worst night in decades.
UKIP may have not had the night they were hoping for, but they did far from badly, in terms of vote share, the number of people voting for them and the number of 2nd and 3rd places they went from non-existence to now being the new 3rd party in the UK in just 5 years. I hope Farage gets re-elected now just to **** you off. And UKIP is in a great position for the next election.
I'm glad the Tories got in on a majority because it means 5 years of winding up socialists

Pretty much why i feel my first vote in a general election was wasted. Not a fair system.

Voted lib dem as usual. This time out of sympathy rather than dedication. Not that it matters where I am. You've got more chance of meeting John Lennon, Elvis Presley, and Mahatma Ghandi out dogging (in the Peter Kay sense) than you have electing anyone without a blue rosette round here.
Worst moment of the day: muttering "Grief, OcUK was right!" which is one of the scariest sentences in the English language.
Best moment of the day: Blinky Balls losing his seat. I laughed until I stopped, which was some time after lunch. But he'll be back after a stint in the City learning how to suck up to our corporate overlords a little more successfully.

Yep, utterly awesome
Doubt it. He wasn't much liked by quite a few people in the party plus he'll be seen as too close to Miliband and Labour need to distance themselves from him as much as possible.
