The General Election Thread

No signs of leadership? He is a great figurehead for this country. A well balanced family man, skilled politician. they all talk in riddles, but look at what he has achieved in 5 years. I will ask you this who would you prefer to have been shaking Obamas hand or defending us against a terrorist threat on our shores. Milliband, Cameron, Farrage or Clegg - only one winner there.

He's a vapid, posh, rich pretty boy. Just your type.

Whatever you or any of us think of him, he has got himself a second term as PM, a feat that very few people achieve.

He didn't have much to beat though did he? Like Rangers in the Scottish second division.

I'm sure you're relieved, I am too when my team wins. But I see a hell of lot of gloating on here too, and a lot of frankly strange Cameron god-love stuff.

and ... why wouldn't people who wanted the conservatives in government gloat. Labour voters would do the exact same, what do you expect ?

No one should gloat in victory, IMO, in football or politics because your next defeat may never be too far away (OK, it could be five years but...).

so you can insult and say whatever you want before an election, but when the party you voted for wins its comfortably you can't sound a little bit happy

You may call it gloating - I see it as a vital day for this country. Elated, relived, proud maybe the words. Cameron is a great leader so why is it strange to be proud of him?

Now there's the problem I have with Cameron. I don't see any signs of leadership at all let alone great leadership.

I've no Idea what he stands for or what drives him as all I ever hear are woolly platitudes and clichés.

If you are talking about going to war against terrorists etc you should have put Blairs name in there as he has a bit of previous

You can only beat what's in front of you ;-)

Surprise, surprise. One trolling simpleton would vote for another trolling simpleton. Give this puerile train of thought a rest please. We're all tired of it.

lol

The misplaced joy and pride here is nothing short of hilarious. Why don't people appreciate the histoy of wafer thin majority governments? They always end in disarray and disaster. Look at the list pf past victims in my previous post to get an idea of the sluggy one's likely fate. It will not end well....

... and stop being giddy.

Read the rule changes on votes of no confidence

Then cry.

OMFG. Unintentionally hilarious. Can't wait for it to be dug out when things start to go pear, which will be shortly.

This is the work of a very twisted and giddy mind.

You can do whatever you want if it is legal. This is a democracy, thank goodness, and we should all cherish the fact that we got a free vote yesterday. Nothing wrong with being happy when you win but gloating is something else.

Would a post lets say that said "lets set fire to a mosque with people in it" or "I would rather contribute to the Alex Ferguson Retirement fund than the Ghaza appeal for children" trolling or simple or is that vapid?? and stimulating?

I'm not really posh or rich either to be quite honest.

You are wasting your time. She has spent all day repeating this stuff. She has her fingers in her ears and she is just singing "lalala. I can't hear you"

how is it ? if labour would have won there would have been loads of posts on here gloating. i wouldn't be bothered about it or let it affect me ? i understand politicians shouldn't gloat, but voters can. Dont see why not ?

Bloody jelly you guys don't half have some time on your hands. This thread has moved momentously.

Been trying to keep an eye on it, but only just got the time to post.

As most, shocked with the result. The polling industry needs a reset I think.

On a political note, hopefully the growth continues. Said countless times I think the growth is being driven more by confidence rather than governmental intervention. But let's see.

I hope we can gain some sense of normality about immigration and the eu

Really got a sense that the Tory line of the last year was predominantly down to the desire to win the election.

I fear for the referendum, don't know how it would be implemented in practice if we do exit. But now will just hope that the "in" camp markets itself well enough.

Finally, I think I speak for posh, pretty people everywhere when I say we do, in fact, make extremely good leaders.

Because the Mods are already pissed off a couple a whole lot more than others and one appears to be
taking the whole result as a personal loss

United fans will gloat if they finish above us. It's a personal choice but given the definition of the verb to gloat: "to look at or think about with great or excessive, often smug or malicious, satisfaction." I think it is best avoided - it's a personal choice.
