If the exit polls are right the Tories have won the election and Labour has nothing they can do to out-manoeuvre them....so 5 more years of beating up the working class to pay for the mess the bankers dumped us into.....
Another 5 years of the Tories
- Thread starter Totton Linnet
- Start date

That is a little surprising. It sounded like there was going to be no clear winner. Look like UKIP isn't gaining any ground. We'll see what the official results look like, but it's hard to imagine they're too far off.

And that's what's really important, right?
In a close election, all the parties matter. And if UKIP had done well, that could indicate serious trouble for the UK's future in the EU.

And that would be a bad thing, right?
I think so.
Another interesting note: It looks like the pro-independence SNP won 50.0% of the vote in Scotland, beating every other party by at least double. Which puts doubt into the future of the UK as it is currently composed.

My concern is those who are going to suffer the 12 billion of welfare Cuts.
At least with collation there was some with heart in the discussions.
Also the tories will start a stupid referendum on Europe that could savage our economy.
Oh well if the Labour party don't put up an electable alternative this is what we get.

With a majority in single digits, the PM will have more trouble than even Major had. How will he hold the party together when any group of three MPs can threaten Commons votes?

The real question is why does the working class continue to elect these people?
We do the same thing here in the U.S.,. The republicans in this country do nothing but serve the rich at the expense of everyone else, and yet the very people who are getting screwed because of it just keep re-electing them. Idiocy reigns, and the thieves in power know it. So they just do as they please.

He got 36% of the vote, better than expected but hardly a landlside.
he has a small majority, a good win for him, but that articles a million miles off the truth, but then again its fox news.

Take a deep breath. Don't whine. Remember, you win some you lose some. But always endeavor to learn some.
Um... the Clinton's are poor? The Obama's are poor? Nancy Pelosi is poor? Michael Moore is poor?
You continue to be a crybaby....
It could just indicate that people are gunna vote to come out in the referendum
Well I always thought the Tories would win but during the campaign I thought Ed might just have turned it around....
I have enjoyed seeing the Lib Dem political tarts get slaughtered...THAT I enjoyed.
But the Govt is more right wing than ever.
They believe everything the box tells them....the media in the UK is totally biased
