Will all us scrubber-dubbers in bl ghettos have to accept all the Horwich riff-raff, like him who scalded his missus, upon independence and a social cleansing - a 'gateway' community if you will? Anyhow, we just won't sell them their drugs anymore [Horwichers] they'll soon come crawling back.

I'll say the same now as I said 4 years ago. This isn't the outcome I'd hoped for - but it's no time for bickering and sour grapes. Let's get behind them as a nation and judge them on their actions rather than what we fear might happen.

 

Would be very happy if Andy Burnham became the next leader of the Labour Party. Things are going to get a lot tougher for the SNP now they've got some political clout and will come under real scrutiny. Shame Farage and Galloway didn't get in. I'm sure their clashes in Parliament would have been interesting.

 

Let the arguements about the EU begin as it's a large part of what we're going to hear about for the next couple of years.

I'm quite please he's not won a seat, I think UKIP have only got one seat haven't they, which is one less than they had yesterday.

 

Nobody really believed they were ever going to win anything more than two or three seats (unless they're a bit simple) but what they have done is shaken things up and made it easier for the Tories to get power.

 

Cameron must be delighted with the help that Farage has given him

UKIP got more votes than the SNP. they talk of the SNP clearing the board in Scotland and all this and that, well UKIP got more votes than SNP. over 4 million votes, and one seat! it seems all those UKIP voters havent been represented. 78 second places too, beating the Tories and Labour in many of them. They did better than anyone thought. Wait `til the next one.Im quite pleased that Milliband has been booted out and ed balls and all their cronies, what a good day it has been. It was so amusing watching UKIP get more votes than Labour up and down the country. But then nobody really believed that Labour were going to win anything and that theyd looses lots and lots of seats ( unless they are a bit simple), but what labour have done is ruined towns up and down the country.

They still did fuck all and have no real representation in Westminster.

 

They'll do fuck all next time too as people will go back to labour / con.

 

Given the first past the post system you can file ukip under also rans.

Just for the sake of clarity - what is it that Labour have done which has ruined towns up and down the country?

Take away the Scottish seats and labour still got well beat. They have had it in Scotland. The SNP have a mandate to demand another referendum. Sturgeon has just said it will be at the forefront of their manifesto at the next Scottish elections. If their votes stand up there will be another referendum before the next general election me thinks.

Taking a vote for SNP as a vote for Independence, and a vote for any other party as a vote for no, then they would have been 797 votes shorts of winning a referendum.

Allowed mega-mosques to be built willy nilly, innit.

When all the ballyhoo has died down let's remember that today is the 70th anniversary of VE Day and off those who laid down their lives in the fight for democracy.

 

Whatever we think of election results or the voting system in general, they gave their lives so we could have the right to vote.

Great tactical move from Cameron with his scare-mongering on SNP-Labour coalition.  

However, this nationalist polarisation will be very damaging for the country long term, I fear.

Scotland Independence is now a matter of time and further isolation from Europe is likely whatever the outcome of the EU referendum.

In addition we will be treated to the full weight of austerity cuts which will probably leave the nhs unrecognisable after five more years.

It's not something to celebrate unless you happen to be very wealthy.

The NHS needs to be unrecognisable but it won't be so don't worry too much about that. Also, this Tory party is very much centre right, they aren't suddenly going to lurch into burning those on the dole.

 

I feel sorry for the Lib Dems, they did the right thing and have suffered the most from it. The last government did more for working class people than Blair ever did.

Am I the only one on here that thinks Horwich is a bit of a backwards shithole?

Shithole no, but it's definitely the most backwards area of bolton i ever worked in.

True!  But they gave us Browns bigots a voice and taught labour a lesson! I knew all that you said months ago, but you cannot argue that a large (3.5 million) number of ordinary people are pissed off with the EU imposed immigration policy on the UK and the EU in general. We have exercised our democratic right to voice our concerns and accepted the final result in a fptp system.

borrowing and spending, leaving debt everywhere.spending the tax payers money on all sorts of whimsical and needless ways like they can do what they 

 

like with tax payers money. Every wasted spending is placed on the working man, endlessly and they hound the working man for money.

 

They were the ones that were using bailiffs too. I can name many, many other reasons, I shant go into it. I worked through `new labour`, and it was Evil.

That's sounds a bit like finishing third in the championship, ending up in the play offs and losing to the team in seventh

 

Then complaining the system isn't fair

Was a reply to the other dude who made disparraging comments I thought was unfair.
