2015 post UK election discussion

You are forgetting the fact that the Tories scaremongered voters by claiming a Labour/SNP partnership would be bad for Britain, that won the Tory's their majority, they were banging that one home to the masses for 2 months.

Without the SNP, the conservatives would have been out.

Don't buy that. It's scapegoating.

The tories won because noone wanted Miliband as prime minister.

One thing that has astounded me in the polling data is how many people in what you would think would be staunch Labour areas have ended up voting UKIP. I really cannot begin to understand how anyone would think that was an intelligent thing to do. The chances of UKIP winning seats were almost non-existent and they've ended up helping the Tories back in. Well done people. Democracy in action.

Think all the crybabies in here need to take their spoonful of democracy and have a nap.

Well, it is literally "the common good." Seems odd that you look at it in such negatively ideological terms.

History calls those men the greatest who have ennobled themselves by working for the common good; experience acclaims as happiest the man who has made the greatest number of people happy.

£39 for his BREAKFAST!!!

Those scroungers musn't half live the life of Riley with their near double £72 p/w.

This is it.

How can any politician complain about "scroungers" when the Expenses scandal showed hundreds of them were claiming for all kinds of stuff the rest if us would have to pay from their own pocket.

Complaining about dole scroungers whilst keeping quiet about these rascals is just plain cowardice.

Is the word history also communist then? Or money? Or 'or'?

Well worth watching if you want to better understand where the power lies these days:

Clearly people felt that Labour did not represent their views and the Conservatives were not a viable alternative.

Is it really democracy though? When a party can get ~4,000,000 votes and win one seat, is that democratic?

I can see the point you're trying to make but your logic is flawed. It's like saying because all girls are children then all children are girls.

David Cameron 11 May 2010 on the steps of no. 10.

"Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good"

Communists? Of course not!

It's nothing like that at all. That's verbal reasoning, this is showing that the phrase and aim of "common good" was regularly used by Communist and Marxist ideologists. It's a core part of their ideology, a utopian desire.

"Rivers of blood" speech. It was dockers who marched in support of Enoch, not the elite.

I know many people who are labour voters who actually voted tories because they were scared of the snp.

Because you make it sound like it's a threat to national sicherheit national security. You want us to believe that the weakest in society are ALL of them SCROUNGERS.

If ANYONE on here has advocated the ultra right-wing claptrap - it's YOU. You can't even back up your original insinuation & now that you've been called you're trying to weasel your way out of it.

No mention of 'rich & poor alike' from you before - it was those on benefits & NOBODY ELSE. Still no condemnation of IDS in the same way as those on benefits.

Very brave.

I for one won't let you get away with it. I'll call you out every time, and anyone else who wants to do the same.

Its a football forum mate, he doesnt really have to weasel out of anything, he can just log out for the night and every one will be back on footy, beer and birds tomorrow.
