To wonder if David Cameron thanked Nicola Sturgeon yesterday for keeping him in power?

[obscuredbyclouds2]

That's it really...

[Ubik1]

Not this again

Can you count, op?

[HirplesWithHaggis]

And just how did she do that?

[NameChange30]

WTF are you on about?
Even if Labour had won every single seat the SNP won, the Tories would still have got a majority and formed a Government.
Such is the shit electoral system we have.
(Personally I think we should have something fairer such as PR.?

[NameChange30]

Typo at the end! ? should have been )

[Eigg]

Labour lost the election all by themselves as was shown be the complete devastation of their votes.

Why is the the SNP's fault?

[NameChange30]

Did you watch the TV debate? The one with the opposition leaders? Nicola Sturgeon offered to support Labour, in coalition or otherwise, to keep the Tories out.

[NameChange30]

Ed Miliband turned her down btw.

[CrystalCove]

You know you are being massively unreasonable so you must just be trying to goad....

[CrystalCove]

Just another goady anti -Scots bashing poster

[obscuredbyclouds2]

Yes I can count and so many people I know changed their vote at the last minute and abandoned the smaller parties in England.

[HirplesWithHaggis]

Again, how is that Nicola's fault?

[obscuredbyclouds2]

Not goady - just sad

[CrystalCove]

So why is that the SNPs fault? It's laughable really except its serious - all these people so scared of the SNP that they wold vote for a party they didn't want to, just to stop the SNP having more power at Westminster .....and yet ending up with a Tory majority infinitely 10 times worse! At least the SNP are anti austerity.

[obscuredbyclouds2]

Where did I say it was the SNP's fault?

[HirplesWithHaggis]

So Nicola did it all by herself, did she? Funny, I missed her call to the electorate of England, saying "Vote Tory, ya bams!"

[Bair]

'Where did I say it was the SNP's fault?'

[chocolatelife]

blame UKIP
they came second in so many places down south, totally pushed out lib dems

[chocolatelife]

or blame ed milliband for not having the charisma deemed necessary

[Miltonmaid]

i suspect Cameron was very happy with how well the SNP did, and how he was able to use this to scare some voters into voting conservative because they didn't like the idea of a Labour/SNP coalition. It suits the SNP to have a Tory government in Westminster, much more likely to be unpopular in Scotland than a Labour govt and can provide and enemy to rail against. However, it would be foolish to think the SNP is the reason Labour aren't in power.

[Miltonmaid]

I agree UKIP was a big problem in some Seats for Labour. The new leader really needs a plan to win those votes back.

[obscuredbyclouds2]

Cameron and Sturgeon must both be happy but the dynamic between them will be interesting...

[TheWernethWife]

I am a long time Labour voter with a good MP in a very safe Labour seat. Told him that Ed Miliband was un-electable and now the party has been extremely damaged.

[NameChange30]

Why the f* would Sturgeon be happy with a majority Tory Government?! She said herself she wanted to keep the Tories out and would be happy to work with Labour in order to do so.

SNP policies are left of Labour and while they may differ, they have much more in common than SNP v the Tories.

I'm pretty sure NS and the rest of her party are appalled by and planning to fight many Tory policies, including massive welfare cuts, scrapping the Human Rights Act, reducing the rights of employees and unions, etc etc.

[run2]

You seem to be changing your point of view. What is your point? How did Sturgeon secure his victory from your perspective?

[tilliebob]

This again? I didn't even vote SNP and never will but I'm totally bored with this bollocks being trotted out again
