I was rather hoping for another coalition with Lib Dems acting as a restraining influence on Labour or Tories but it was not to be.
Election results may not always seem fair but they always tell a story. Congratulations to the Tories and SNP, commiserations to all the others.
It would be churlish not to acknowledge the scale of the victory for the Tories nor the size of the defeat for Labour and Lib Dems – it will take some time for them both to recover and there is the possibility that neither party will actually achieve a full recovery.
I think I will have a break from here. There is only so much reference to scroungers, immigrants, the workshy, benefit cheats and general vilification of those not at the top of the heap that I can reasonably take and still maintain my equilibrium.
It’s good to have a divergence of opinion and have assumptions and beliefs challenged. If this forum was solely right wing or solely left wing it would be pointless. As someone who is pretty centrist in his outlook I get a real glimpse into a whole spectrum of others experiences and values. However, there is this growing nastiness and contempt for sections of society which may not be wholly exclusive to the Right on this forum but appears to be their growing preserve.
Being a Tory should not mean having a hatred of others but it feels increasingly like it does mean that for many..
