The Post General Election Thread

[Lucky13]

Len Rum's Dream:

"While riding on a train going west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream it made me sad
Concerning Red Ed and the power he could have had......"

Anyway enough of that intro to Dylan's masterpiece the dream goes that Ed ( like other Labour leaders before him) never had the problem of Scotland and the SNP. So he racks up 44 extra seats to the 232 he won,giving him 276. Then because middle England is not turned off by fear of SNP poking their noses into the Government he wins 30 more of the marginal seats he failed to get from the Tories and the Lib Dems hold on to ten seats the Tories gained from them. Result Labour 306, Tories 292, Lib Dems 18. Ed forms a majority coalition with Lib Dems with 324 seats and a new Lab/ Lib alliance emerges.

Only a dream but it could have happened.

To finish Bob's song:

"Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if Ed's life had been like that"[/

Posting your own Election results , this defeat has hit you hard.

some people on here amaze me. People saying 'stay classy Left' etc. as if everyone who voted Labour/SNP has been rioting. If some City fans were found guilty of racism would you accuse all of City's fan base to be equally racist?

 

[Lucky13]

Vandalising war memorials. Stay class left.

The Police should open fire on them for doing that.

 

[Ell-ano]

Exactly. Stay classy.

to be fair half of the country didn't vote for the Tories so it's not hard to see why people are upset. Especially when the newly 'elected' government will make the people who suffer most suffer even more.

Oh well, that's OK then.

In a word, yes. This election will effect peoples lives, and not only that the people who suffer the most. They need to let the government know that they won't be ignored, otherwise new laws will be passed that will harm the most needy most. This, at least, sets the precedent that should the Tories pass a ridiculous law, people wont stand idly by and let it happen. This government is there to represent everyone in the country, not just the well off.

Love it. The left are suggesting a sun reporter vandalised it. Lol. When the Tories lose an election they rebuild and come back. Labour supporters try and remove a legitimate government. Scrotes

Oh piss and moan. They're a bunch of cunts. Vandalising war memorials - yep, bunch of cunts. For that, and that alone, I have absolutely no interest in what they were protesting about.

The bitter tears are still flowing.

Tossers.

We love democracy!

Wait, you voted for who we didn't like! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Exactly. Stay classy.

Erm, no they didn't. Half of those who VOTED didn't vote for the Conservatives. One third of the country didn't bother to vote at all.

I never said that, the Tories will benefit those well off, further privatising the NHS doesn't help the common man on the street, it helps those who can invest in a new private health care system (the well off). Creating 'jobs' through zero hour contracts and dodgy apprenticeships doesn't help those who are unemployed but it gives companies a cheaper work force and gives them more profit. Allowing the super rich to avoid tax and buy property in London as an investment only serves to increase their own wealth. You tell me how I will benefit from a new Torie government, the rich will become richer and the poor poorer
