Very "Independent" view point there...

 

Cant stand Cameron and dread the next 5 years.

BUT what's happened is simply unreal bcos it's basically the political equivalent of end of The Godfather. Anyone who's seen the film knows that as the end approaches, everyone predicts the possible end of a weak Corleone family (the tory government), instead what happens is they wipe out the heads of the other families (Miliband, Clegg and Farage) leaving Michael Corleone (Cameron) sitting in his office in complete control with the other families all but wiped out...promising his wife (the electorate) that he will make the family business legitimate (the country's finances sorted) in 5 years.

In all seriousness has anyone known of a political victory where ALL your main opposition have been obliterated AND then each lost their leadership and deputy leadership. Cameron must be sitting there in hog heaven. He's literally taken out all the other parties. Unreal.

 

Cameron has done more lay 5 years to improve from where the country was before in labour so don't see why everyone is so against him

 

He's a pastry faced ****wit who's done **** all for the working man in this country.

 

Miliband ****ed himself up

 

And what is his first idea? Repealing the ban on fox hunting. Well done everyone who voted for the Tories, you've successfully voted in a compassionless, backwards, silver spoon inbred as prime minister, and this is his first move. Rewarding his inbred cronies that campaigned so hard for the tories so they can go back to watching an innocent animal ripped to pieces in the name of ****ing sport.

**** this country. Morons, absolute ****ing self centred morons.

 

I think Labour failed for two main reasons

1. They bowed to union power in electing Ed instead of David Milliband, the latter wanted to reduce union influence on the Labour party. They therefore started from a poor position with a leader that lacked charisma and strength of leadership.

2. The rise of the SNP. If Sturgeon had not based her campaign on the basis that if SNP took power in Scotland they would form a coalition with Labour and Ed would do as he was told then Labour would have not lost seats in England. Despite Ed's denials that he would enter such an arrangement voters outside Scotland would not take a chance.

 

Well that's wrong everyone knows it's the Swiss who feed the cuckoo clocks.....

 

Not sure why anyone in England would be bothered by any deal by labour with SNP. The vote for independence is done and dusted. The SNP are willing to change legislation in UK so they only vote on matters that affect Scotland (they would face that with a tory government anyway). There may be disagreement about the nuclear submarines issue but they're against austerity and have a lot of shared political philosophy with labour.

 

So after all is said and done., Nationalism wins The very cack the PR media have been stoking up for the ladt few years, shock horor

Also, because of a lack of proportional representation in the UK system, there are now literally millions of Brits without representation in government, literally, millions out in the cold.

With proportional representation UKIP should have about 80 berths.

Just goes to show the joke of this "democracy" Cameron is now almost literally a king

Bye bye human rights act

 

For you people with small kids.....make sure you stay employed otherwise The Bullingdon club bully boys will be sending your kids back up the chimneys or you'll get sanctioned.

 

I would say the majority of UK actually. I would say that the tories really only represent at best 30% of population

 

Then when they get ill they can go to the NHS where there'll be no nurses, Tories having got rid of 4000 since 2010, after all they all have private care so dont give a ****

 

True that MITO, just saying like, the system is a joke.

 

The incessant stoking up of nationalism over the past years almost guaranteed a Tory victory. That and the fear mongering.
So more rising costs
More war
less civil rights
more banking fraud
more tax evasion
more stealth privatisation of the NHS
bigger gap in equality
privatisation of education, healthcare, prison and social services and other government agencies.

But meh, throw people a bone, tell them britain is great and they'll put up with any old ****

 

No matter how much I hate UKIP, that is bang on. All that will do now is make the under current of support for UKIP even stronger as ppl feel democracy has failed them. As a result the tories will become even more right wing in order to appease them.

 

1. If you cannot see that `the flexible` work market all those business leaders, who wrote supporting letters for the Tories, are so anxious to force on us, is a euphemism for insecure, part-time, zero-hours work (that even those with families and mortgages who`ve paid taxes all their lives and recently become unemployed will be forced to take miles from home or lose their benefits anyway), then you`re just Murdoch fodder.

2. Just re-iterates that you and the fellow ovine pack who fell for this Lynton Crosbie mush are Murdoch`s patsies. Why do you think his papers supported the Tories in England and Wales, trumpeting the very line you fell for, but backed the Nats in Scotland? The same Nats, btw, who despised Labour for campaigning with the Tories in the independence campaign, but happy to wave about copies of Murdoch`s rag this last month (let the ****ers go now, I say, and see if Murdoch will still care for them when their oil runs out - perhaps Donald Trump can level the whole hole of the Fenian central belt and make a 50 mile golf course for the Jocks to dress up in national costumes and serve US businessmen as their future economic model.

 

The only problem with PR is governments don't last long so never get anything done, and corruption is rife...see Italy, Greece, etc all basketcases. Constant elections with some governments only lasting a few months! At least with a first past the post system the elected government can move the country in the direction they want and stood for in the election. This applies to whatever shade of government we have.

Politics is like football, some supporters end up disappointed with results when their side loses.
