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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
