2015 post UK election discussion

[Khalekan]

thinking/hoping this will happen alot more now...might even see a similar picture to the 1980s'..

Unfortunately there are no angry young men and women to take the fight into the clubs and the Hit Parade any more.

No Braggs or Wellers to articulate the frustrated aspirations of a beaten generation.

Where once we had the Red Wedge and songs about fascists down the tube station at midnight now we have X Factor and Harry Styles.

Milliband would have made a brilliant PM, no doubt about that, just a shame he did'nt look the part for the X Factor public.

Even on the 'gaffes' I can't see how right minded people favoured Cameron:

Miliband - looked stupid eating a sandwich once

Cameron - proclaimed support for the wrong football team, revealing a pathetic attempt to appear normal by pretending to like football.

 

[The Esk]

I have to say that was a very weird speech from Ed Miliband.

Aye. Murdoch & the likes' 'dumbing down' of the media. All part of the plan.

If either of those put you off them then you shouldn't be voting. I have no interest in how someone eats (as I would be equally as messy, if not worse) and I do not care who they support - they could be Liverpool fans for all I care as long as they are right for the job.

Probably because of SNP, the economy and eu referendum.

This was 1991, it could be 2015, never frigging learn.

 

[SteamyRayVaughn]

Our new majority government. Cheers England.

Well, at least islamaphobia will not be a hate crime. That would have been a slippery slope.

You want to insult our female Muslim preview writer @chicoazul

I want the freedom to insult any ideology.

I fear for our Country now. BIG TIME.

Who's money?

You'll find a lot of tory MP's wealth can be traced back to the norman conquests. Those that can't, the probabilities are that the majority of the rest is inherited wealth anyway.

Although they're all happy to mention their humble beginnings aren't they?

This is a true story told me by my cousin in Ireland.

Or it may be apocryphal. But it deserves to be true

My cousin and his chum went fishing on a river flowing through the land of Lord sommat or other.

They were poaching and a bailiff approached them and told them to hop it.....they were trespassing on private property.

The chum asked how come the property was "private" and the bailiff said Milord owns it.

When asked how Milord came to own the land the bailiff said "his ancestors fought for it and won the fight".

To which my cousin's mate replied "well go fetch him here and I will fight him for it now......".....

.....er......I'll get me coat.......

Bye bye NHS and welfare state. Don't lose your job or get sick in the next 5 years, because you will be f*ucked.

 

[SNova]

This will be a massive issue. In terms of votes achieved the Party ranking is....

CON 36.8
LAB 30.5
UKIP 12.6
LD 7.7
SNP 4.8
GRN 3.8

But I doubt that the people who voted for the likes of UKIP will get the respect they deserve......

4 million odd votes - 1 seat for ukip

1 million odd votes - 56 seats for snp

Great democracy.

Our new majority government. Cheers England.

I said weeks ago Labour should have been plastering those photographs of that smug bunch of self regarding, entitled buggers on every lamppost in England.

Hiw could any ordinary person vote for that bunch?
