He has to manage his party with the EU dominating the agenda. He might end up wishing he had done worse.

 

[nib95]

Why are they holding up their middle fingers lol...

 

[Black Republican]

Elmo party? Copyright infringement no?

 

[Oogedei]

Ugh, Cameron. Still can't believe that the people of the UK voted for that guy. Shame on you UK, shame on you.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

The last major batch of calls all come in 7am UK time. There are still a few isolated seats after that, but only around 10 or so.

 

[iMax]

Ugh, Cameron. Still can't believe that the people of the UK voted for that guy. Shame on you UK, shame on you.

Democracy, breh.

 

[Raynes]

The Tories send their regards.

waiting to see farage get fucked before i go stick some breakfast on

 

[travisbickle]

Was it a green party candidate stood behind Cameron looking pissed off?

 

[Black Republican]

Uk pretty much said better the devil you know then the one you don't. Plus not an amazing economy but more jobs have been created correct?

 

[N7Commander95]

My confidence in there being any good in England has evaporated. Shame on the UK

We don't just vote for one person though do we?

Or a particular personality either.

We vote for a party.

 

[Mr Swine]

So is it good or bad that Cameron's party won this election? Keep reading from big Swedish media sites that they winning could be bad for Sweden in the long run

 

[iMax]

We vote for a party.

We vote for an MP to represent our views in parliament, not necessarily those of the party they represent.

This x 1000

 

[Maledict]

We vote for a party.

Um, actually you do vote for a person. You vote for your local MP. You aren't voting for a party - an MP may be a member of a party, but your vote is for the person and not the party. If the MP decides to change party after being elected, you are stuck with them unless they decide to step down.

You don't technically cast a vote for a party at all.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Uk pretty much said better the devil you know then the one you don't. Plus not an amazing economy but more jobs have been created correct?

Rising employment numbers, yes, but contrasted against tripling numbers of people using UK food banks, lack of meaningful real wage rises, and zero hours contract proliferation..

 

[Gurgelhals]

So, at least Farage won't be getting his seat, will he? There has to be at least some good coming out of this election, right?

 

[nib95]

Was it a green party candidate stood behind Cameron looking pissed off?

Yes, when he said they're looking out for the poor. Which is bollocks given considerably more people are homeless and/or using food banks now than has been the case in years.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

The watershed started at 0530.

We don't vote for a party mate, only an MP.

paul uppal lost his seat.

Not to mention that MPs aren't guaranteed to tow a party line.

 

[Jezbollah]

Danny Alexander = Defeated. Official.

Also: David Laws.

Zero hours is legalized slavery. The power is entirely with the employers and zero power from the employees. Sounds very Marxist imo

 

[twobear]

Uk pretty much said better the devil you know then the one you don't. Plus not an amazing economy but more jobs have been created correct?

yes; despite the tories' best efforts the economy did recover, but by that point they'd been pushing the lie without opposition for so long they were able to take credit for the recovery that their policy had stalled in the first place

i honestly don't know what to do now. any glimmer of hope i had about the possible future of my country is extinguished and replaced with complete dread. i don't see how today could have been worse for the future of the UK.

 

[iMax]

Bit much. Slaves don't have a choice in the matter.

Good for UK economy. Bad for EU and thus Sweden as well. Both Finland and UK have now voted a fairly EU critocal government within weeks of each other so there will be shockwaves coming across EU. Not as bad for Sweden as many countries since you guys were smart enough to stick to Euro.

Essentially UK will be doing what it has best done for hundreds of years, sticking to its own intrests above other countries. At home, I really hope the homeless issue will be tackled, I would gladly pay more tax for that.

Lol wut?? Sounds like the opposite, pure capitalism.

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

Most people don't have a choice if their tax credits/ benefits are tied to taking the job....

It's good.

Labour were simply not yet fit to govern this country again.

Um, you mean exactly the same as every other country on the planet?

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Zero power with the employees? Legalized slavery?
Why, that sounds like a brilliant reason to vote for the Tories. Here's to hoping they totally blow the opposition out of the water and get a majority!

 

[twobear]

Good for UK economy.

????

LMAO

 

[anonymous_abc]

Good mornings, so what's going on he..... oh my..... 54 seats for the SNP.... Blue across the board....
oh my....
Good luck with that my British sisters and brothers.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Yay, Forza Commons is back.

 

[iMax]

I'm sorry mate, you can't compare a zero-hours contract—as bad as it is as a concept—to actual slavery. It's not a comparison anyone will seriously entertain.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I really think holding a referendum on the EU may damage the Union far more tan we could ever experience tonight - so, you know, if Cameron wants to trade in the United Kingdom to appeak to UKIP voters then fine, but I hope the average Daily Mail reader knows they are starting to damage the idea of the United Kingdom, as a union, for quite possibly ever.

 

[Chittagong]

Um, you mean exactly the same as every other country on the planet?

UK has just done it much better. UK and Germany are the big winners in Europe currently.

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

It's good.

Labour were simply not yet fit to govern this country again.

How so, Gideon is a twat who couldn't add up if the answers and a calculator were handed to him.

Urgh I voted from the states (where I live) and I'm just glad I'm moving to Norway.

My party did not win

 

[Oogedei]

We vote for a party.

You do realize that you don't vote for a party? And of course it is not a direct vote for Cameron but it results in letting him in charge...
