Stupid but not as stupid as I expected, compassion i agree with.SWP's back said:
The result wasn't a complete surprise. Said weeks back that I could see Tories holding on again and UKIP making inroads to the Labour vote as well as the Tories.
However, to those who like to see the Public Service shrink; you will get your way and then some. However, it will be horrible and the people that use it will notice. The public service is used by everyone, even if it's just renewing your passport. The front line of public service will be decimated, not just those 'made up' jobs that people refer to. Our public service was once recognised as the finest in the world but it's now treated like a leper.

This is my problem with Brand - "we need a compassionate society" literally means nothing at all. Any act can be skewed as "compassionate". You could say that the Holocaust was a compassionate act where millions of people were helpfully clothed, fed and given a job by the state then allowed to enter paradise earlier than expected.
Compassion is a spin word that politicians use entirely because it means everything and nothing. When Brand says it what he is actually saying is "I don't know what to do"

Nobody likes a sore loser, so congratulations and well done to the Tories, an unexpected win, but a very good win none the less. All the crying and bleating from the 'left' is no use now, suck it up, there is 5 years of this, so it was a close majority win, its still a win, bitching and sniping is like the rags saying that goal difference shouldnt count as a title decider. Dave will be able to keep the right in check with the EU vote, he will have the DUP on hand to prop him up if at all needed. There is very little chance of there being 66% of MP's to go against him to get a vote of no confidence, regardless. Labour supporters can clutch at straws if they like, its the only thing preventing them crying into their beaker duvet covers at night, but the fact is you'd much rather be in the Tory position than your own. I dont think the SNP will hold the power the now have in Scotland forever, so Labour will be back, they deserve more pain after Blair and Brown in anycase, hopefully with a good man like Alan Johnson at the helm.
Gutted the greens didnt pick up another seat or two, the only real socialist party these days, and despite despising most of what they stand for UKIP as well, i'd have liked both parties to have at least another couple of MP's. Give the house of commons more of a reflection of what the country actually voted for, something is not right that so many more in Britain, voted UKIP than SNP but the jocks (mostly that **** Salmond) are going to have much more of a say over English matters.
I am going to have to eat some humble pie when i see my dad, as i said no way would his man get an overall majority, fact is he did.
Edit: it was fucking funny to know Ed Bollocks lost his seat the smarmy ****. Highlight of the evening for me.

Green Party loss = 1 x wind turbine that nobody actually wanted.
Leave the greens alone, i am going to follow the theme of this thread and get all upset that you have made a joke about my party and call you a ****. You ****. You are ruining the planet with your attitude and are a selfish wankshaft. I'm off to knit a yogurt and hug some trees.
PS the greens had their most MP's standing ever, also in proportion had less deposits returned than usual. The future is green...
