^ No worries.

I've just heard Ed Balls on the radio explaining what he thinks went wrong. Remember, this is Ed Balls, the man in charge of the Labour party campaign.

"I'm really annoyed that we didn't address the things that would have made a real difference. Things like the impact of technology on western labour markets ."

Yes Ed. That's why you lost. That's what we're all sitting around thinking about. The impact of technology on western labour markets. The number one issue.

Are you on bad acid you cunt?
 
I think Jackie Bird is a fucking Establishment Lizard Robot.

I can't fucking stand her. She says the words "Social Media" in inverted commas; as it if it's a just a temporary fad that her kids are into. Her complete disdain for the SNP is clear for all to see, and has been since the referendum.

Fuck you, Jackie Bird. Accept what's happened and fuck off.

Nobody should give scotland grief for having the balls to do what the rest of the country should do - ie vote in their own interests (i mean class interest, not nationality). Whether scottish or not it's got to be positive to have so many mps from an anti-austeriy party in the commons, just for the fact that they'll be able to bring up awkward points like all the evidence that austeriy has failed worldwide, that noone from labour would dare mention - plus how good will it be having people like mhari black asking the odd awkward question (they'll certainly punch above their weight compared to the fib dems).

Voting milibland in would have been more of the same, though a little tamer - turning the safety valve on for a while, so preserving the long term health of the corrupt system for a bit longer (long enough to bring in things like their efford bill to save the nhs, which according to people who know actually was a sly way of continuing and increasing the privatisation - so much for miliband). Fuck labour - if they can't grow enough spine to muster an anti-austerity argument and discredit the osbourne/city of london voodoo economics (so easy to do - just ask paul krugman), they don't deserve our vote.

It's not fucking scotland's fault that the media is so biased or that so many english people still swallow the shite they spew - scotland has started to wake up from this media dreamworld of atomisation and separation - this is a revolutionary force and the establishment are shitting themselves that it might spread - i think it will in time (the truth has legs as they say)

Just the positive example of sturgeon as a left wing(-ish) leader is so important across the uk - people like her have been routinely discredited or edited from our awareness for decades by the suffocating media mind control of the establishment (at least as far back as foot, benn and kinnock). This is the revolution we need - to break ourselves out from this monstrous machine - scotland leads the way.

(this is me looking on the bright side - btw (my plaid mp held on at least)
 
what I don't understand is how so many lib dem seats converted to tory? It's like the ones who voted lib dem the last time decided to cut the middle man out or something.

did anyone notice sam cam's dress? It was virtually all blue with a yellow back. Interesting symbolism maybe.
 
Don't. My ex looks like Samantha Cameron.

The Tories were banking on another coalition. I don't think they anticipated the SNP doing their job for them.

Vurt - I disagree. The SNP voters in previously Labour seats are the people who gave us a Tory government. Oh, what a well-timed referendum. And Murdoch laughs at them all.
 
The snp did nothing - everyone had already calculated for the snp result from the polls, and labour could still easily have won a majority without scottish seats. Labour lost their seats by their own hand combined with the help of tory encouraged ignorance and xenophobia. Not the snp's fault. Should the snp have stood down and doffed their cap?

Owen Jones, lefty commentator, was going on about Labour heammoraging (that can't be how you spell it but spellcheck hasn't kicked in) votes to everyone, SNP, Tories, UKIP. He was probably right but lets talk about the party that has really been annihilated this time, Clegg's backstabbers. They didn't just convert to Tory (as Devon and Cornwall go blue). They converted to Labour, Plaid Cymru, the SNP and certainly the Greens in Brighton Pavilion where the result was unchanged save for a 10% rise to the Greens and a 11% drop to the LD's. 7.9% of the national vote and let's hope you never recover you spineless fuckwits.

UKIP seemed to gain significant but lower than expected votes from the big three in England. Not enough to make an impact and certainly not enough to justify the media coverage they got. Farage's resignation speech was funny. That's not a resignation Nigel. That's a fucking holiday.

I couldn't possibly comment on a dress.

Scotland is Labour's heartland. I'm sorry, but I think you're talking pi-jaw.

Logic! Numbers! I'll try this one more time.

Add the Labour seats they won to Labour seats you think the SNP stole off them. What figure do you get? 270-280?

How many of those do we take away from the Tories? None. So the Tories still have 331, majority 10.

The failure of Labour in target seats in England and Wales gave us a Tory government. Those normally Labour-voting Tories were not put off by any SNP threat and if they were, they're racist cunts. Don't stick up for racist cunts. It was up to Labour to convert the apparent racist cunts, not pander to them with some weak 'we'll never do an SNP deal'.

(Xenophobic/racist don't get semantic for the sake of an argument. I'm being pretty clear here. That is what happened).
 
Where were these extra seats coming from outside of Scotland? Because that's where you needed them from. That's the point. Regardless of Labour's collapse in Scotland, they failed out of Scotland. If you think they failed because people were scared of Scotland, I think you're ignoring far deeper problems with the Labour party. Ed Balls didn't fail because of Scotland. And neither did the other Labour losers who failed to make breakthroughs. They failed through people not trusting Ed because he's a bit-part from Wallace and Gromit and not trusting the party because they had no cohesive strategy.

"I'm going to be the first PM to under-promise and over-achieve, not over-promise and under-achieve" And I'm going to write it on a rock. Do me a fucking favour.

Let's hope this slim majority gvt crumbles. It might. If the opposition cunts stick together and vote against it constantly.
 
It all went wrong because:

1. The un-Prime Ministerial Muppet Ed Milliband was appointed leader of the Labour Party. Anyone else would have been more electable.

2. The same Labour party aligned themselves with the Tories on Scottish Independence. They should have stayed the fuck out of it and abstained from the whole thing.

That's why we have a Tory Government.
 
Arsery and buggeration. I'll skip the blame game going on above aside from wondering how anybody is confused over the fact that Labour lost everywhere not just Scotland. Most likely because they are so indistinguishable from Tories they make people who would have once thought of them as voteworthy skin crawl. At least with Tories there's little pretence: they are cunts. We know it, they know it, apparently there are enough cunts to have not only condemned us all to another half decade of Torydom but to give them enough of an unexpected boost that they're surely going to go all out this time around. Gonna make us look back on the coalition with misty eyed nostalgia I suspect :|

That aside, I'm also annoyed with myself for voting with head not heart. Was literally a last minute decision and based entirely on local issues. Should've known from the sheer volume of pensioners out in their Sunday best that the Tories were going to romp home in my constituency. UKIP came a solid third here with Plaid, Labour and Greens fighting over the scraps. My move to Scotland really cannot come quickly enough for one more reason than I had yesterday :|
