Supposedly anti-tory protests taking place in the capital, and the met have asked the BBC not to report.

If that's true it is absolutely pathetic.
Not the supposed request to not report it but the idiots protesting against a democratically elected Government, especially when that Government holds all the cards no matter how you look at the election.
Has there ever been any public demonstrations from the opposition when the left wing has gained a majority?
 
What's even funnier, is under PR which is what many want. Cons would be even stronger with all the ukip mps. Making it even further away from what they want.

I believe some Conservative voters tutted loudly over their tea when Blair won, does that count? :D
 
Not that i agree with it, but you have to understand that protest is a valid part of democracy just as much as voting, and you can certainly sympathise with the anger they're feeling. Something tells me this is going to become more of a common occurrence over the next five years.

When you systematically crush sections of society and remove hope from them, then people will always take to the streets.

This is just it, all i see online is butthurt left wing looney's now saying it is all unfair and that there needs to be electoral reform...but then the Conservatives would still be most popular party and if anything the strongest and most representative government would be a Con/UKIP coalition.

probably made 0 difference to your area anyone.

unless the guy lost by one vote.

I think FTP puts a lot of people off voting knowing there vote won't count unless it's for one of 2 candidates.

tbh the main reason i don't bother is because i wouldn't want to waste my time going through the polices of the different parties to see which i liked the best.

Protest is fine.
Anti social behaviour and disruption has no part in a democracy.
They are in a minority, deal with it.
