I can see Blob and Bazza joining the Universal Love Party.
Seems there is a broad spectrum of political allegiances on this board - emotions running high, but maybe that's because people have been up all night glued to the box or eating hats with Uncle Paddy?

"Thank you for supporting Queens Park Rangers Steep Staircase"... and I thought I'd signed up for a rollercoaster.
As a Tory voter the only one I fear is David Milliband they should find a way of getting him in . Whoever is in its better to have a competent opposition .

QPR442 I'm glad you corrected yourself. I thought some people had been watching too many poor sitcoms from the early 1970's. You know, when it was thought funny to mock Johnny Foreigner coz he has an amusing gobbledygook name that we could mock in the shared knowledge that were so much better than them. Sadly other people aren't as concerned as you.

You see... I hate Tories, but whether or not you like them or think they can be up there as memorable leaders or not, they are fcking good politicians! Labour under ED milliband, seemed doomed from the start, I was shocked DAVID never got the gig. My old man swears that ED is a very good politician and has good ideas, but has suffered an incessant media slur campaign since day 1. Part of that is true.... He is not this lovable, helpless, good bloke, trying to bring fairness and a chilled society back to our streets, but an obviously ruthless politician, either going for or allowing himself to be put forward for leader of the party: against his brother. I agree that, he was doomed, even if he was, THE answer to our problems, just because, like Brown before (and many others from all parties) his media image was crap! It just couldn't work. Nick Clegg seemed to have found the holy grail with the Lib Dems... A viable and trustworthy alternative to either party, last time around. His complete disregard for the party and promises he stood for is only funny in that as he leaves, he leaves a party in a place where they held as close to power as they may get for 20 years and hadn't had for near enough 100 years. I think the Lib Dems are probably the unified JOKE party now. Nigel Farage, fair play to him, lived and died by his sword and unless UKIP do an SNP and go for the highly rated lady, that a few, who know alot more about the party than I do, speak with high praise of, to take over a father figure of the party, they will fall into regionality. It's amazing that under a different system, a party that got the 3rd largest number of votes would represent a significantly greater amount of seats in parliament than the 1 v 8 that the Lib Dems secured with roughly half the vote. The Greens, the only real alternative (in England) decided to (seemingly) give in to tantrums and let a totally unprepared foreigner (and a bloody crap white one too!) take the helm in what is their biggest ever campaign. Seems all so convenient to conspiracy enthusiast...or....truth guru.... If you get a chance, watch Caroline Lucas on YouTube, a really smart, sharp and overtly competent leader, who chose to concentrate on her local seat more than the WORLD! Galloway and Al Murray were the only 2 independent (or smaller parties) MPs that, me myself and I, without a TV, got to hear about and they failed.... Although I was impressed by a guy called TOBY ABSE, candidate for the AGS (Alliance green Socialists), check them out, good ideas, but they let him down badly. He had great ideas and wrote an honest, open and concise vision of why he was standing and what and more importantly, who, he stood for. Inbox me and I'll copy and paste the message to you. Made perfect sense. If 1 major heart wrench of the voting / election process felt to me, the hardest to deal with, it was the fact that, although I wanted Greens to be in power, I liked this man (professor, I believe) to be in charge of my area. It would've been nice to be able to vote for local power and national power, if that makes sense? I thought that's how it worked? I only ever voted once before and that was for the mayor (Boris time). I voted green but was allowed a 2nd choice too. Bizarre really. SNP have done very well. Changing from a stewardship of Swinney back to the charismatic Salmond and after a (rigged) independence defeat, the dynamic Nicola Sturgeon, to clear up against non-existing Lib-Dem, Tory (who?) and Labour, who under a national leadership of White, would've scored better in the polls, both across Scotland (although ironically, his part in the successful independence vote, tarnished him) and more importantly, England. It seems that women leaders are / were en vogue again. Plaid Cymru will undoubtedly grow under their stewardess-ship, although she seems like a junior filling in. In Norn, it just seems like the DUP v a (varying level of) challenge Sinn Feinn or whatever non-Unionist party bothers there. In rather sharp summary, Cameron has done extremely well. Clever, ruthless and incisive politics. He has come out of a second election, in which, both times, he has been openly derided by several vocal sections of the public, with a largest number of seats (and votes, I believe?) and can now carry on his social cleansing / Thatcher 21st century MK:2015 policy, knowing that he will be seen as a TRUE Conservative leader and that by the time the Lib Dems, Labour, UKIP and the Greens, fumble through their leadership rigmaroles, Boris will be ready to step in and charm all the (probably by then, majority) public Tory bashers. He will offer a far less free, more totalitarian version of Daves Thatcher MK:2015 model..... But whilst wearing a silly hat and making several extremely racist, yet at the time, seemingly pleasant and/or jovial references to darkies and their 'dancing and drums' and semi-darkies with their 'spices and cloth'. You can sometimes see why some leaders take voting away from the public when it comes to public matters. All in all I reckon 1 thing this ain't is... Marvellous.
