     OP - May 07, 2015, 06:36 PM
    I voted Labour in case anyone's interested. I was thinking about Greens - and even Lib Dem because of their pledge to direct more funding to NHS services like mental health. But in the end I was persuaded by the constant bashing Ed Miliband got from the Rupert Murdoch press. It was so disgusting, cheap and low, it just made me so angry and want to react.

     wacko I don't understand your politics at all. There's so many parties that seem to actually have a chance? Here it's really easy. I can pretty much just ask you if you think poor people are just lazy and depending on your answer point you to one of your two viable options.

    Problem in the US seems to be that regardless of whether you think poor people are lazy, and what the party who claim not to think that poor people are lazy (Dems) say they'll do, they both end up being paid for by the same big companies which set their policies. So its not like the Dems can do much to help make anything any better for poor people, independent of their corporate backers having that in their agenda.

    Well to be fair only Conservative or Labour have a realistic chance of an outright majority.

    No. It's been either a Labour government or a Conservative government since the war - until the last government that is which was a coalition between Conservatives and Lib Dems.

    Back in WW2 where party politics were set aside and also elections where all parties had an input if were already in parliament. Back then labour were properly socialist and Tories were more conservative.

    looks like it's always going to be a coallition gov from now on, unless they change the way they determine the winner, i think so far a party has to be clear of 200 votes to gain a majority ?   

    Scottish national party will probably get the third biggest vote but labour have pledged never to go into coalition with Scotland, so it will be interesting to see how this works out.

    They'll probably go with an informal agreement. If Labour go into a coalition with the SNP, it will piss off a lot of English voters, and rightfully so.

    I feel there is a stark difference with elections in America and Britain. In America, I feel it's very oriented towards the individual leaders, with the likes of Hillary or Obama rallying support around themselves. In UK It's more party-oriented historically representing different classes (although it's quite changed now), with Labour historically representing the working class and Conservatives being middle and upper-class.  I think Cameron, Bennett, Milliband are rather uncharismatic but it wouldn't matter as much in the UK vs. US.

    BBC exit polls are showing Cons at 316 seats, Lib Dems with 10, Labour with 238, SNP with 58, UKIP and Greens with 2, and DUP with 8.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-scotland-32633029

    If this ends close to the actual result, then I would say Labour and Lib Dems got absolutely hammered.

    Labour has increasing betrayed their values to the point I no longer feel confident voting for them. The tories I couldn't bring myself to vote for after they seemed to be following Maggie's legacy of making it harder for lower-income people. They slapped the disabled in the face with their work fitness tests by unqualified bureaucrats who wouldn't know a medical condition if it bit them on the cock which resulted in actual deaths in some cases. Lib-Dems have had policies that the passage of time has shown would have left us all for the worse and don't even seemed to have tried to learn anything, instead sprouting the same old shit. The Greens are living with the faeries, UKIP seems to think we can have the same policies we had as a world conquering empire, the BNP repel me on every level imaginable and there was no independent party to vote for in my town.

    Result: I didn't vote.

    There's no such thing as a perfect party or half-perfect party. You go with the lesser fo two evils.

    Anyway, it seems like the Conservatives can thank the SNP for their (possible) victory atm.  finmad

    It shows you just how stupid the nationalism movement is when a 20 year old student gets voted in over a veteran.

    The result is worrying , but you can hardly blame Scottish voters for putting their own interests first
    For years Scotland has voted Labour and then bee saddled with a conservative govt.
    Thatcherism hit Scotland harder than the rest of the UK - when I was growing up in the 60s/70s we had heavy industry , a strong trade union movement , a superior education system and most people lived in council housing.
     Thatcherism destroyed most of that , and there was the cynical decision to impose the Poll Tax on Scotland a year earlier than the rest of the UK , in breach of the Treaty of Union the Westminster mob are so fond of invoking.
       I voted for Labour - I actually quite like Ed Milliband , I'd take him over his smarmy blairite brother anyday , but he should have been bolder.
      Labour are paying the price for years of broken promises and a lack of nerve.
      The only good thing tonight was seeing Galloway slapped down , and displaying his usual grace and charm
