No party is perfect, but as far as I'm concerned the Tories are the lesser of all evils. Clearly a lot of other people thought so too, since neither Labour or the LibDems convinced enough of the electorate to vote for them - in fact put the total of the seats they polled together and it was still not enough for them to form a coalition.

I, for one, am horrified at the recklessness of the Labour Party who completely lost control of our borders during their time in office. I need to know that any party in power is going to tackle the problem, and as for "dangerous whims of popular rather inappropriate language", what exactly does that mean? That we must pussyfoot and skirt around the nitty gritty of such a serious and contentious issue as immigration, for fear of offending WHO precisely? People like Sadiq Khan screaming "racism" everytime anyone has the audacity to mention the subject are completely unhelpful and hinder any meaningful cross party attempts to reach a consensus.

The fact is that we are a small island with finite resources which can only stretch so far. The social infrastructure necessary to support the numbers that have been settling in this country is totally inadequate, resulting in an unfair distribution of limited resouces. It is in everybody's interest to get some sort of handle on the situation, since Labour's irresponsible solution was to just leave the doors open, whilst throwing more and more borrowed money at the problem. I've yet to hear any viable alternative solutions from anyone opposing Cameron's proposals.
