3) Their complete disregard for our environment and lack of care for global warming
4) Continued badger culls and plans to overturn the hunting ban
5) The continuation of privatisation to the NHS.

And on top of that, 63% of the country DID NOT vote for them. Where is democracy?

that has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm saying, we all know you hate the tories for whatever reasons... i'm on about the fact that most of the people rioting probably have no idea what's even going on in the political world and are just using it as an excuse to be twats...

Peaceful protesting is understandable, but causing trouble isn't.

"most of the people rioting probably have no idea what's going on"

There are probably a few people using the protest as an excuse for hooliganism but I do not think that accounts for 'most' of the turnout.

So who governs then? Labour with 30%? Labour + the SNP with 35%? Still less than the Tories and they said they wouldn't do a deal with each other anyway. You are never going to get a party with over 50% of the vote in British politics. What the Tories did do is win more votes than anyone else and they had the majority of UK constituencies vote for a Conservative to represent them at a national level.

But yeah some badgers might be culled, better go deface a war memorial!
