We're all losers when people like Priti Patel end up in the cabinet. Remember this?

Are labour voters the worst losers in the history of the world?

Don't let it bother you Dave.
1) Because UKIP only have one seat
2) It won't affect you in the Czech Republic.

A quote of yours from another thread:
"Going back to one of my original points regarding politics. It's idiotic point scoring like this which undermines the whole point of the debate. One minute you want to come across as an intelligent, reasonable person, then you come out with cheap, snide comments which inflame the argument. It's crap like this which ruins sensible debate."
Why not try practicing what you preach, potty mouth?

Im extremely 'bothered' about this one UKIP seat. It could affect my return home.
Thanks for letting me know about the antis being 'gutted' that Farage is staying. Confirms even UKIP supporters realise this party of clowns will go nowhere without the chief clown.
Er, confirms nothing like the supporters "realise".............it confirms that they are happy with his leadership and want him to continue.........the opinion you put forward is in your own head

Apart from the "shy" Tories who told the pollsters they were undecided but were intent on voting for the Conservatives the polling organisations may uncover another group , "lie" Tories who say they're voting for another party just to **** the polls up even more.

While everyone is free to express an opinion I just fail to see why anyone would support the reintroduction of the death penalty in the UK. There have been far too many miscarriages of justice to be certain that the correct person has been convicted. You also only have to look at a few of the last death sentences in the UK, such as Bentley and Craig or Ruth Ellis to see that a death sentence is not the answer.
Thankfully this is very much a minority view, and I can not see tha death sentences will be handed down any time soon.

Not a bit of it. We al know the voting system, Tory's got in fair and square under the existing system. I couldn't change that even if I wanted to. I just happen to think it will be very bad for the country.

J'les aurai!
yes a little baffling it wasn't even close
the good people of the UK have voted for a Conservative government by a majority
if Labour was that good they'ed be in government right now,perhaps there's a reason for that
even Ed Balls lost his seat!
if Labour had won,I would of excepted the result graciously
that's the trouble with the lefties,think they're right about everything

I guess Labour will need to be 7 (SEVEN) points ahead in the opinion polls to have any chance of winning next time

I think we both know Labour wouldn't change FPTP either after all they benefited from it from 97 -to 2010. If labour had got in this wouldn't even be an issue. Everything would be great in the world. Except it wouldn't be.
Ha, I missed a 'nt

Quite right. I think this was a huge dilemma for folks. No party that had a chance of government offered a solution that would work. The country is economically shafted. From an ideological standpoint, yes I'd have preferred labour but would they have fixed us? Doubt it.

In terms of seats, you are quite right, of course.
In terms of the actual mood of the populace, it was very close indeed.
The Conservatives polled 11.3m votes. Labour, with the similarly leftist SNP, polled 10.8m.

After this fiasco do you think that would be enough?

That is so right. Also interesting is the different attitudes to the opposition.
Labour supporters are absolutely vitriolic in their hatred of the Tory party, yet Tories are just dismissive of the Labour party and their policies.
Some of the comments on here are bordering on libelous.
