The General Election Thread

[Hamann Pineapple]

Will all those politicians who defected to UKIP be going back to the conservative party now ?

Many of the Tory voters in this thread have come across as callous and have a distinct lack of compassion, I am not sure they mean to but it is how they come across, I know lots of Tories who are nothing like that and are decent caring people

Are you stupid or niave, it's ambulance on the cheap, of course they won't put the fine detail in there would they otherwise people would cotton on to it, yesterday we were told in no uncertain terms what we would be doing, it's that and much more, but as you are an expert in every job and field in the public sector I'll bow to your superior knowledge in everything.

And Labour started it so why would they repeal the successful trial?

Labour introduced home safety checks I.e. Fitting smoke alarms, that's it, they did not introduce the rest, simple question when you phone with a medical emergency do you want highly trained staff or a Jack of all trades with basic training?

I get an ambulance arriving from Al Ahli Private Hospital bud.

He's probably pright though. Without a coalition partner to exercise at least some restraint, the next five years are going to be brutal I suspect. Deep cuts and little growth in productivity are on the menu.

Surely you are missing the point this is democracy and working people all over the country are sick of the issues raised by Benefit cheats scroungers and immigration These points were all at the forefront of this election and it looks like the majority have come down in favour of action against these pressing issues.

If that's what you think this election was really about then I fucking despair.

To be fair, while those issues might not have been applicable to everybody they were for a significant chunk of the population - particularly immigration. As has been stated, over 3 million people voted UKIP and many of those voters would have done it because of their stance on immigration.

Beaker using the #edstone for a political headstone , rumours he'll go by dinner time.

I think he pretty much has to. He has also lost some pretty key members of any future shadow government. Time for a complete rethink from Labour it seems!

He's managed to get that goggle-eyed fruitcake Balls thrown out, so I think Ed deserves another 50 years.

I wonder if we will see an end to new labour and maybe a return to the people's labour, it's the only way I can see them winning Scotland back.

Ask Di Niro if he got much sympathy from 2008 to 2012 from the public sector while he fought tooth and nail to keep his business. You cant just label Tory Voters as callous.

The democracy has spoken and the working man has clearly said enough is enough.

Great news that you know a few Tories who are nice caring people!!!

They're probably arsehole too, they're just less likely to say what they really think when they're not anonymous.

I think a fair few on either side don't come out of this thread particularly well, a lot of bitterness, bile and cheap shots rather than debate from both sides.
