The trouble with the greens is that while their ideas are good, most of them are not plausible in the real world. Also they are against trident and nuclear power
The nation has decided that Milliband is unelectable as are the Labour Party as a whole. I for one am very glad that people saw through the half assed promises and desperation. The Labour party brought the country to it's knees under Blair and then Brown.
Just think - if those silly Scots voted Labour instead of SNP they might have actually had the change of government they wanted! Makes me laugh.....
So are you telling me we wouldn't have been struggling as a nation without that Labour Government? Come on...
Well put...and our wildlife will take hell of a beating, foxies & badgers, start running the who rah henries are coming to get you!
Granted but the sheer amount of wasteage in those Labour years was criminal as well as Blair dragging us into a war we should have ignored
Honestly so disappointed... After everything Cameron has (or should that be hasn't) done and people still voted him in.... In fact they got more votes than they did in 2010. Scotland have ****ed us right over. The lib dems also did Labour huge damage after Clegg went back on his policies so everyone who voted for them voted Tories... Get ready for another ****ty 5 years. I'm actually seriously considering ****ing off out the country
Beaten you to it mate ! Think there may be a few more Brits living in France quite soon… If so, please bear in mind that we have no divine right to be liked by them, and that a charm offensive is needed here…
Missed this thread as been very busy . Some of the comments on here are actually pretty much a cross section of the opinions and rhetoric that has been going on for the past month. I missed the 2 weeks leading up as I was without media of any sort for most of the time. What saddens me is comments like....... I didn't vote because I didn't think they had a chance I wont waste my time as... I will vote tactically I always vote such and such... My parents always vote /voted... Change is driven by facts, against and impending and lasting back drop of potential posterity, the country put Labour in, TONY BLIAR, after a long period of conservative rule, I voted conservative as at the time the oil revenues were beginning to take off and we were not in a bad state countrywise, everyone however was euphoric after the first spell of labour ( oil revenues were free money ) as we all "had it so good" I voted labour 2nd period, as it appeared to be prosperity and good living, little did we know it was all a lie to cover up the massive £?trillion black hole deficit... WIZ POSTED the note left ? SO WHERE DID 12 YEARS OIL REVENUE GO. I voted CONSERVATIVE third time as I could hearthe rumblings and things didn't quite add up. I voted conservative last time and this, we were in the s*** deep deep deep S*** 5 years ago, but now we are paddling on the beach at Weston super mud at low tide! this morning I awoke to find I am a couple thousand pounds richer.. not because the conservatives have done anything yet other than get back in, as the wheels of this country, commerce and finance can now feel happy for at least the next 4 years! NO vote is ever wasted, on the radio today they interviewed a SNP person he made all these arguments about Scotland being this and that and having the power seats AND VOTES of the people behind them, but their voice would mean nothing! etc etc AND WAS INSTANTANTLY SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES by the humble interviewer The Greens, the Lib Dems, AND ESPECIALLY UKIP had more votes cast for them than the total for SNP, UKIP in fact more than doubled your vote! Do you think at the next GE that the fact that UKIP or the Greens OR lib Dems will go unnoticed...NO they wont, do you think that just 1 seat will be ignored, in the wider picture no.... its what their latent vote base is likely to produce! At a city game look around you,12000 people they might all be wearing the city red but in reality 1 in 4 of them are not Conservative or Labour ( left out SNP ) SO NEVER WASTE YOUR VOTE
'if those silly Scots voted Labour instead of SNP they might have actually had the change of government' R&W - 56 and 232 add up to 288. 'and our wildlife will take hell of a beating, foxies & badgers' BJA - you take the biscuit. 'In fact they got more votes than they did in 2010' - Democracy's a terrible thing Shiny. Something else about 'democracy' - 4 or 5 million voted for the Greens and UKIP for just a few seats. Yet the SNP get 56 seats for a lot lot less votes. Even R&W's lot got more seats than the Greens and UKIP.
I think that they will **** up the country so much that labour will get back in next time! If we leave the EU (stupid to have a referendum and gamble with so much) then once I finish education and get my degree I'm ****ing off abroad somewhere and leavin tithe UK to collapse in the mess that leaving would create.
When I woke up this morning and found out that the projected results from last night changed dramatically I wondered where British politics go from here. The pantomime horse Nigel Farage, undeterminable Nick Clegg and the impossible to believe Ed Milliband are all consigned to the scrap heap of wannabe leaders. So that clearly leaves you in the hands of the somewhat laughable David Cameron who has about as much charisma as a (add any term you want). Ed Balls, Vince Cable, George Galloway and many others have left the scene of the crimes and will probably now enter the witness protection programme, or write a "tell all" book prior to them returning to the political wasteland they helped create - is there any justice? Perhaps Boris the unfathomable needs to be put in charge and then you can have cable cars across every river in England. Enjoy, because if you haven't read the major political news from Albertastan (formerly known as the land of oil and wealth called Alberta) the Conservative government of over 40 years has been kicked out of office by redneck New Democratic Party followers. Might not sound too exciting to you all back there but it is a damning indictment of waffling and untruthful politicians finally getting their just desserts from the electorate, and I'm sure there are a lot of the ex parliamentary brigade in England cursing the public for ignoring their pleas to be given a chance to govern. I will be keeping a watchful eye from afar on what happens in British politics to see how a majority government acts, but following Alberta happenings will be a lot easier because they are just next door.
Balls was an absolute joke and British politics wont miss him, or Clegg, or Cable, or Milliband Good riddance to bad rubbish
