hypochondriac

Except I'm not a right winger. How do you explain my vote for labour 8 years ago? Quite prepared to vote for labour in the future if they are the best option. The difference between you and me is that I won't refuse to vote Tory even if they are clearly the best option. You are ever so melodramatic and it weakens your argument.

Agree with that. Would be great to see labour with some half decent policies and an opposition worth voting for. Say what you like about Blair but he was electable and inspired people to vote for him.

Your final sentence is beyond pathetic. Ridiculous.

I note distraught feminist is missing.

I have a friend who is exactly like some of you on here and I just can't understand his perspective. Absolutely despised thatcher to the point that he had a party when she died ffs. Thinks it is now the end of the world and wouldn't even consider voting anyone else but labour no matter who was in power and no matter what they did and it seems to me that this come primarily from his parents who are both militant labour too. In that circumstance you might as well not vote if you are just going to vote for one party by default.

Do you really think you are going to persuade people to vote Labour with an attitude like that? You're beyond help, go and get some perspective.

and the frothing at the mouth, bitter reactions keep on coming. Lefties showing themselves for what they really are. In five years time when the sky hasn't fallen in, will you be claiming otherwise?

I'm just surprised someone hasn't thought to blame thatcher yet...

Because they would prefer Conservatives in charge rather than a minority labour propped up by the snp?

You sound like Russell Brand mate. Tell you what instead of stamping your feet and throwing a tantrum, why don't you ponder why such a comparatively small amount voted for labour in those key marginals. If your only argument now is about how small the voting turnout was, then that applies to every single party.

Enough of the public saw through it to vote into government the Conservatives with a majority. No one else was close.

Or maybe people just simply do not agree with you that the last five years have been appaling? And they can remember the last time labour were in power?

Your tone right here is why I would find it very difficult to vote Labour again in the future. It's attitudes like this that have wrecked the Labour Party. Class warfare at its ugliest and thankfully the British public have seen right through it.

Heaven forbid that he actually won because people made a choice that he was the better leader and that the Tories are the better choice right now. No it has to be because we are all mindless sheep doing whatever Murdoch says. Give it a rest.

so so bitter. You lost, suck it up and move on.

Except that I'm not biased. I've voted labour in the past and I'm not predicting meltdown just because the party I didn't want got elected in.

No I reckon they were hacked off at nick for breaking his promises.

Nah. Won't be anywhere near as bad as you think, that's just your bias talking. I'm quite positive that they will continue sorting the economy out and we will do alright.

Because they know that the Conservatives are best for the economy.

nice one Tim.

Of course the Conservatives won't be perfect, but if Labour had won a majority I certainly wouldn't be describing it as an apocalyptic moment. It's pathetic tbh.

what a load of melodramatic twaddle.

Yep and a number of people I have spoken to have said that. I couldn't believe it when he refused to say they had overspent.

IMO if it were the least bad then they wouldn't have gained from last time. To win more seats after being in power for four years is actually really impressive and is a clear endorsement of what they were doing previously.

Well yes. As I said on a previous thread, labour have just ran an anti tory campaign and it has blown up in their face. People trust the Tories on the economy and clearly the campaign has been a huge success for them. Despite a load of people on here saying how great ed has done, the reality is that he was a woeful choice for leader.
