General Election: Happy with the result?

[Benjamin]

?

[Liam-]

Not in the slightest

[Withano]

It was neither the best or worst case scenario, I'm between happy and content.

[Tom4784]

Accidentally voted yes but meant to pick no. Worst possible result.

[bots]

Absolutely delighted. This is the beginning of a new era in UK politics.

[Nedusa]

Absolutely delighted. This is the beginning of a new era in UK politics.

I think it could be the end of an era for UK politics and a beginning of an era for full devolution and the politics of England,Scotland,Wales and N. Ireland as separate political entities.

[smudgie]

:cheer2: Hell yes.

[Lostie!]

Not at all. This is an abysmal, yet unfortunately expected, result.

[rubymoo]

I chose 'not bothered' because in all honesty the past 5 years have been pretty much the same for me and my family as under the Blair/Labour government.

I don't feel i've been affected by any of the measures they've taken, financially i'm the same.

I suppose i'm a little disappointed that UKIP didn't get more seats seeing as they had more votes than SNP, yet SNP have more seats.

I wanted UKIP to cause a bit of an earthquake in politics as i feel that the 'big' parties just don't listen to us little people.

[MTVN]

It's the Prime Minister I'd have preferred but not the government, disappointed that the Lib Dems are going to essentially be an irrelevance this parliament. I hope Cameron will be true to his original stance as a more modern one nation Tory and not lurch to the right now he has a majority. I'm also worried about the prospects of the union and our future in the EU. It's quite a troubling few years in store.

[Kizzy]

No, I think many not long down the line will rue the day.

[Livia]

Delighted.

[arista]

Hell Yes

Same tbh except I voted yes.

[lostalex]

Conservative ... It's how you vote when you are too embarrassed to vote ukip

[Glenn.]

UKIP finished second in my constituent which I wasn't surprised at.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly MTVN, it's going to be quite an interesting few years ahead as well. :laugh:

[Kizzy]

No, When those ballot papers went awol they should've changed the colour of the paper. I suspect foul play.
I don't care if that's seen as sour grapes, me being salty about Labour not winning or whatever.

[Livia]

LOL... oh dear.

[Kizzy]

I quite like you following me around, usually you spend most of your time running away from my argument.... It's quite refreshing.

[joeysteele]

No,not at all.

However I always accept the will of the people, even though I am still in total disbelief that this came about.

To govern should be to serve,I really hope with this small overall majority, we see more n the way of understanding service to 'all' the people of the UK and 'all' the countries of the UK too,from this govt; instead of the dictatorial attitude it has carried out over the last 5 years.

This result however was one of the last ones I hoped for and wanted.

[Kizzy]

I'm still numb, I have 101 worst case scenarios playing in my head, I hope I'm overthinking it but based on the last 5yrs..... :/

[Jay.]

at first no, but i've been reading positive stuff about it.

although, my only wish from this election was to vote someone in who would reduce uni fees </3

[Cherie]

Not fussed, business as usual in my home

[Livia]

No,not at all.

I was disappointed for you, Joey. I know how hard you worked. And all the way through you disagreed without insulting. My respect as always x

Yep

These things have always got a habit of working out. If it brings about a sea change in UK politics, then its worth it. These results have been coming for a while. If it results in us having a stronger voice/place in europe and a more federal UK, then it has to be the best result for everyone, no matter their political leanings. I'm very upbeat, and not just because the tories won.

Like you,I do now hope the pressure becomes too great now to not be able to avoid those things and bring about even more really big changes.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Joey are you going to now resign from Tibb?


I think all you can now do to save your rep is to fall on your sword and deregister



:fan:

[Kizzy]

He better not! I'll go bonkers :bawling:

[reece(:]

Awful result. Leaving the EU will be disastrous and I'm pissed the uni fees aren't getting reduced. :laugh:

[Jemal]

As a member of the young community, I really am pissed and Can't
Imagine why anyone would vote for conservatives.
Having to pay if your ill?
11k student fees?
My heart bleeds. The next five years in the country will be torture, i'm out of here once I finish University.

[Toy Soldier]

Happy that the SNP did so well, disappointed but unsurprised that England voted Tory. The press and the spin favoured them heavily, therefore it happened. That's modern "democracy" at work, sadly.

What I really don't get is people saying "It won't affect me so I don't care either way". Really? :shrug:. A Tory government is unlikely to affect me at all, some of their tax ideas might even make us slightly better off. Also, given the industry I work in, a Labour government could potentially have been a massive headache for me in the workplace. Massive.

You have to think a little bigger than your own personal circumstances with these things. Surely you do. Or I guess maybe not... Otherwise fewer people would be lurching right squealing "me me meee".

[Black Dagger]

Absolutely not. Disgusted.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Absolutely not. Disgusted.

another unhappy ukipper?

[Toy Soldier]

another unhappy ukipper?
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that UKIP's demise sugared the entire pill a bit :joker:.

Plenty of votes, a measly 2 seats, but the defeat of Farage I think will probably spell the end of the UKIP era. He's their only convincing orator and he's been cobbled.

[Jose Mourinho]

I believe Cameron was the best candidate for PM

Bang On Right

[empire]

it just shows how the election is broken really, it shows how the pro establishment parties gain there seats so easy,it is fixed for them to gain there seats,if we had the election reforms, and a huge change to the map, torys and labour would never gain anywhere near 300, even parties like the greens and ukip would get nearly 90 seats if those reforms happened a day before the election vote was to start.

[Kizzy]

Yep most are terrified of appearing anti establishment even if that establishment destroys everthing the country is built on.

[joeysteele]

He better not! I'll go bonkers :bawling:

I'm not going anywhere Kizzy,don't worry.:joker:
Do what I do, just ignore such comments,they are all wearing very thin now.

Thank goodness, was expecting it though, I'm gracious in defeat :laugh: going to take Eds lead and be dignified enough to not respond to anyone seeking a rise.

[Livia]

Judging by the result, you're not alone in that belief.

[joeysteele]

I like to be gracious and magnanimous in 'defeat' or 'victory'. Gloating is largely abhorrent to me.

*1 seat :fan:

[Northern Monkey]

No,But not surprised tbh.Labour would have been the lesser of the two evils.I wanted to like Labour but just could'nt vote for them this time around.My vote made zero difference anyway but i would've preffered Labour to Con.

[Mystic Mock]

No as it's another 5 years of torture.

At least it's not a coalition with UKIP though because they did so bad at the Election despite all the Media hype.

[Mystic Mock]

Conservative ... It's how you vote when you are too embarrassed to vote ukip

Or most people see UKIP as a looney Party?

[empire]

a large amount of working class vote went to ukip, from labour, and they won't go back to labour either, this is what the media have been trying to hide, labour only have them self's to blame, for that, with there political correctness and forced diversity laws, that have made cities no go area's,
