I'm sure you will tell me, and why?

8 Labour wins. The first in 1974 was a hung parliament. SNP has seriously affected Labours ability to win. 19 general elections post world war 2, most votes in England: Labour 3 times Conservative 16 times

Actually just correcting the boundaries to try and make them a bit fairer. They have favoured labour for years. Tony Blair 36% of the vote. Michael Howard 33% of the vote. Result: 65 seat labour majority. David Cameron 37% of the vote. Gordon Brown 29% of the vote. Result...

The main problem I have with PR is you don't decide who your mp is. You vote for a party and they then assign you an mp. Look at what happens in euro elections. One of the local conservative meps recently died. There was no election for his replacement, the Conservatives just picked a...

And here is the problem I think. To me it seems that hardcore Labour voters wanted Miliband to be more left wing, but to the rest of us he needed to be more right wing.

Someone on the news pointing out that old labour (as opposed to new labour), hasn't won an election now for 41 years. I can't help but think that an old labour style hard left party is no longer relevant in the modern world. The labour party was setup to defend working people against...

It will look very bad if Labour supporters start bemoaning a conservative majority from 37% of the vote after they said nothing about Blair getting in with 36% of the vote.

Well it gets mentioned that without Scotland the tories would have been in power unbroken between 1950-1997. The reality is if it weren't for Scotland, England would have gotten sick of the tories much quicker. That will probably happen in England in the future now to be honest. As for PR...

Said it before but I think that's Labour finished. They'll never get Scotland back, and it's quite clear that they will always struggle to get a majority in England.

Majority in reality is 323 with Sinn Fein not taking their seats. If the exit poll is correct I reckon it will be a Tory DUP coalition.

I know all about that. And the best way to solve that problem is to make the average worker valuable.

We knew all about that didnt we when they lost their cushy pension plans.

I have always been in favour of sensible controlled imigration.

Rather insulting comment. Most people take pride in their work and are proud of the fact that they don't sponge of others. The lowest paid worker in the country should always be better off than someone on benefits.

Neither is unemployment.

Brilliant policies, Britain will be back to the economic powerhouse of the 70's in no time. Just one question though, what happens when all those earning over £150k move their wealth abroad?

Theres always savings that can be made. Taxes are too high already, hard working people deserve a chance to get on.

I was talking about who was to blame, so I don't see why your asking me those questions. It has nothing to do with what I said. Welfare has to take the brunt of the cuts, along with more efficiencies in the public sector. What would you suggest?

You forgot the rule. Its fine to insinuate that your in favour of violent protest against anyone but sisu. If you do it against them it might "upset" the team and that would mean your not a real fan.

The banks are responsible for a lot, but how on earth are they to blame for the government not putting enough aside for a rainy day?
