Obviously the election result is very disappointing. We now have a ruling party whose policies appear to be guaranteed to harm our country yet people voted for them.
It seems like some labour support switched to Ukip. One wonders if any sincere Labour politician would want these voters back. Indeed maybe the Labour party should reflect on what kind of person has been voting for them all these years.
Some of this reminds me of when George W. Bush was elected for a second time in the United States. At the time the most depressing thing to me was that someone got elected (twice!) on a (not remotely disguised) platform of professed ignorance and handing power directly to large corporate interests.
In this election the Conservatives make no secret of their plan to hand over major industrial and mineral assets almost free to mainly foreign private interests yet people still voted for them. It seems as if people want to live off the country’s capital, which will only last for a brief period, rather than determine their own future.
Even more astonishing was actually hearing a voter state their reason for voting Conservative as the fear of a Labour-SNP pact.
