Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

Is Google in the business of providing facts these days? Last time I used it all it did was provide links to other people's facts - normally wikipedia.
As it's your argument, I would argue it is your fault if you use dodgy stats to back up your case. I note you didn't actually provide a link to anything to back your assertion on what the average Norwegian wage was...
What precisely didn't you like about the last labour stint? Imho it was better on the whole than every tory stint all the way back to before thatcher.
Google does nothing but provide you with sources of data; it's up to you to verify the source and reliability of that data as is the case with any other source.
Public spending increasing to extraordinary and unsustainable levels.
What a decade of growth? Improved public services? A rise in wages, a fall in child poverty and poverty overall, and a recovery underway when they handed over power? Compared to five years which include terrible growth, a failure to meet their promises, a sharp increase in poverty and a targeting of cuts against the poorest and most vulnerable in society.
The coalition has been the worst government this country has seen in decades. They failed to address every long term problem this country has and made some of them worse.
I hope we see the back of them tomorrow.

Started off well, but then ended in tears because they hired an abundance of useless middle management in public services that they are still having difficulty getting shot of.
First few years were pretty dandy, then the cracks appeared when you realised how much wastage there was.
Interesting fact - the deficit for FY 2007-2008 i.e. before the effects of the disastrous financial crash, was a mere 2.75%, well within what most serious economists would call sustainable.
You mean pathetic ?
He actually believes the three stooges from Eton

Voted Labour
Mostly to annoy freinds voting ukip, but also because I agree with their policies.
works both ways!
I wish nobody would vote based on the opinion of others. Way too many do it.
You seem to make it out like it is all so simple. You can't just magic the minimum wage to be loads higher than it already is, because then it makes the salaries of people who are doing more skilled work a joke in return. Why then would you bother getting a job that requires more skills, is more stressful and has more responsibilities, when you can just work in a supermarket stacking shelves and earn the same or not much less?
Sadly, so too does a significant portion of the electorate
More fool them lol
