I'm glad the Royal Mail is being privatised. Maybe efficiency will now be a word in their vocabularly. Hmm (not attacking the posties or the sorters, but the higher ups)

Tory voters admitting they were wrong - doesn't happen does it? Not unless they have a personality transplant........

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 11/09/2010 01:04

I did. I also told all of you before they came into power that no matter who took over there would be cuts. The country has had it too good for too long and cuts had to be made. I also said the cuts would hurt but they were needed as the party was over and it's time for the clean up. I'd vote conservative again.

TonariNoTotoro · 11/09/2010 00:56

Nope, and I'd vote the same again.

We NEED cuts. I work in the public sector and the waste is fucking shameful.

If any govt could get rid of this attitude of clock-in-clock-out, final salary pension, it's this one.

LFN says people who voted Tory knew exactly what they were voting for.

What about people who voted Tory because they believed that:

  • front-line public services would be protected
  • the vulnerable would be protected from public spending cuts.

Both are things that Cameron said during the election campaign and which clearly aren't going to happen.

Nope not wrong.
I want to cry when I think of the piles of shite the Labour party left behind.

I give the present gov 2 years and then see where we are.
I might say I was wrong then. We will see.

I regret they haven't turned out to be any better than the previous Tory government, nor learned any lessons from their mistakes.

But I wouldn't have the Labour government back either.

What I'm the most sorry about is that my hopes that coalition with the Lib Dems would temper any overly-right-wing Tory ideas with some left-wing sympathies. But the Lib Dems have done nothing but roll right over and let the Tories walk all over them.

Please don't fool yourself that the country was going anywhere better with the Labour government.

Mostly I'm just sorry that no political party in this country seems to be able to do anything useful. But as my friends at work pointed out, it's all relative, and at least we don't have a government like Zimbabwe or North Korea.

I have always voted Lib Dem.

I shake my head in disbelief every morning.

DuelingFanjo · 10/09/2010 23:38

I was wrong for voting Lib Dem. i doubt that Tories think they were wrong really.

longfingernails · 10/09/2010 23:36

People who voted Tory knew exactly what they were voting for.

My main qualms about the government so far are that they have not tough enough on quangos, they have given away too many powers to the EU, they have not gotten rid of all state funding of public sector unions, they show no signs of getting rid of the 50p top rate of tax, their immigration policy of restricting high-skilled workers is misguided, and above all, they have not blamed Labour enough for the state of the economy.

However, apart from the immigration issue, all those criticisms are from the right. Broadly I am really happy with what the government is doing.

HumphreyCobbler · 10/09/2010 21:30

I did. I don't regret it.

I also voted for the last labour government, that was REALLY a mistake.

I am going to bed now, so I won't hear about what a twat I am till morning Smile

Exogenesis · 10/09/2010 21:28

Maybe if you replaced the word wrong with misguided...

But, no i'm not sorry (yet)

DinahRod · 10/09/2010 21:26

you'll only get the non=lab voters asking if you're proud of yourself voting for the party responsible for the financial crisis and an illegal war

expatinscotland · 10/09/2010 21:20

there was one gal on here, a working poor no less, who voted Tory and admitted it.

i think she changed her name, though :o.
