To worry I'm going to get seriously depressed as the night goes on

I have a sicky feeling in the pit of my stomach that we are going to be lumbered with 5 more years of Tory rule. Please let it not be so.

most people who are pleased will have absolutely no idea what hardship is. It makes me sad to live in a country where the majority of people are happy to see those with the least suffer the most. the mind boggles.

What amazes me is that any one of us can end up disabled, have a disabled child or grandchild, or lose our jobs and so on.

Tories might be great for people doing well, but people are going to be fucked if their situation changes.

I can tell you now, looking after a disabled person where services have been cut is a bastard. But fuck it, what do they care? It doesn't matter to others if my disabled husband has to get worse and worse because his services have been cut does it? Doesn't matter if my child's services are cut either. They aren't important.

Fuck it. I am off to bed.

Ok I apologise to Southern Labourites (was being a bit tongue in cheek) but seriously take a look tomorrow at the map and see the divide. Completely unfair that virtually half the country gets a Tory government it has never and will never vote for.

girlylala · 07/05/2015 22:40

That's what I'm confused about, but then I've never ever understood why anyone would vote Tory!

Oswin · 07/05/2015 22:41

I'm fucking devastated. I'm praying the exit polls are wrong.

Sickoffrozen · 07/05/2015 22:41

I would be seriously worried if I were a public sector worker. They will go to town on the cuts now but as long as the "small business owners" are happy, who gives a shit eh! The North/South divide widens further. May as well just cut the Uk in half and have two governments.

DarkHeart · 07/05/2015 22:41

Really depressed here Sad and hitting the Wine hoping the exit polls are wrong

I voted Conservative so hoping the exit polls are right.

Ideally though I hope the polls for SNP are wrong and that they get far fewer seats...and hopefully Lib Dem a few more. I'd like to see another Tory/Lib Coalition.

Polyethyl · 07/05/2015 22:42

Why do you think people vote tory?
Do you really think all the hundreds of thousands of people who voted conservative are mad or bad or selfish or deluded?

NormHonal · 07/05/2015 22:42

I'm a southern pansy, born, bred, still live here, higher earners, and I've never voted Tory.

Wine anyone?

Ineedtimeoff · 07/05/2015 22:43

I think if there is another conservative party then that will be then end of the UK as we know it. Scotland will not stand another 5 years of a conservative lead government. There will be another referendum and this time the vote will be yes Sad

Ineedtimeoff · 07/05/2015 22:43

.. sorry another conservative government

Sallystyle · 07/05/2015 22:44

I have no fucking idea why people would vote Tories.

I can't begin to understand it. I don't even want to.

Weathergames · 07/05/2015 22:45

I seriously fear for my job if they are back in power, and my home Sad

Cherrybakewell33 · 07/05/2015 22:46

U2 i hope your family get the services they need. Flowers

girlylala · 07/05/2015 22:46

I'd say selfish with no interest in whats about to happen to the most vulnerable in society.

Rebecca2014 · 07/05/2015 22:47

I feel sick and am disgusted at people in this country.

I hope the exit poll was wrong but if it wasn't, shame on you.

More people using food banks, more welfare cuts, disabled are fucked. Yay Tories Hmm

girlylala · 07/05/2015 22:47

Never mind a referendum in Scotland, we will take the North with us ??

SuffolkNWhat · 07/05/2015 22:48

I'm seriously tempted to move to Scotland.

OneNight · 07/05/2015 22:48

I think I shall be the drunk election thread all on my tod. It helps to numb things.

girlylala · 07/05/2015 22:48

Please move up here to Scotland. The more the merrier

Cherrybakewell33 · 07/05/2015 22:49
