Are we happy with the general election result?

Just wondered if people on here are happy or unhappy at the general election result last week? I stayed up most of the night to watch the results come in. 

It would be wonderful if we could have a calm, logical, reasoned political discussion on here that doesn't result in anger, name calling and the mods locking the thread

Come on guys lets prove we can do it!

  • I think I'll become more and more disillusioned over the course of time.

  • realise that i was right after all when i kept saying labours policies are the same as the tory ones and they are literally saying the same things and offering no difference aside from the nationalised energy company they promised?

    heres another thing.... they wont deliver the national energy company on this term.... they will hype it up this term and wait until next election to use it as a gimmick to get elected from by next election. thats how politics works. they do nothing different... the one single idea they get different they then use as their trump card and gimmick to drag it on to win them as many elections as they can by keep promising it and saying you wont get it if you dont vote them in, but you wont get it until maybe the next term, not this one, or until they have thought of another gimmick to use for the next term instead of this.

  • one things for sure though, george galloway will be happy as next election all the labour voters will want a real labour party, not this tory clone party with a tony blair clone heading it.... george galloways workers party is like real northern red wall working class labour, and voters may realise that now.

    although galloways foreign policy is totally rubbish and dangerous, but people wont care about that, they want true labour and galloways workers party is more true to labour than labour is. he will start winning votes next election.

  • It's how they seem to be shaping up re their approach to welfare  that's set alarm bells going off in my mind. It reminds me of the worst of New Labour.
