To ask those who voted Conservative if they are happy now?

[Elendon]

It seems to me that the current Government has asked a bit too much of their voters. I'm just wondering if those who voted Conservative if they are happy with the current outcome of the election.

TM looked like she was going to have a massive cry. It was appalling. She simply did not look in control in that interview.

Harderandharder fair enough if people were voting for something they believed in and wanted to win, but sadly I did hear a lot from people who were tactically voting for a hung parliament, which is the people I was referring to!

Yes the whole election was a farce, and I'm not defending calling on and then bottling it, it's ludicrous that that happened, but I think we would be better off with a proper majority government at this time. That's all

She had another 3 years. There was no need at all for this election. Completely self serving.

I had no idea until this campaign that she couldn't get through a sentence without stumbling over a word or phrase. Compared to Jeremy Corbyn's very natural and human delivery it came across so badly.

I am quite surprised and horrified that tories supporters are not protesting about coalition with DUP. This is a party that is anti abortion. Or are all tories just not pro choice

Happy-ish. Ours is a marginal seat which the torys retained. I cant do more than that so happy in that sense. Disappointed in the mess we're in, which could have been avoided. I didn't ever feel she should have called the election and it's sadly backfired on her.

I do feel a bit sorry for TM even though she came across v badly in the campaign. Most of us fuck up at work occasionally and it's usually forgotten. Her fuck up is going down in history....

Hope she has a stiff gin and a cuddle from Mr M tonight.

Not happy, but I voted the right way for what I believed.

TBH I'm more inclined to lay blame at the doors of tactical voters, so hell bent on trying to upset the apple cart for a hung parliament...and they got their way but now moan that a hung parliament has resulted in a coalition with a party that hates women and gay people. I hope they're pleased with themselves

Fucking up in the office is a bit different to fucking up the country.

I am very much pro-choice and a Tory, but it's a broad church and I respect others' rights not to be. It's never black and white (and I say that as someone who has had a termination).

I voted Conservative but it doesn't matter in my constituency. You could stand Fred West in the middle of town wearing a red suit, and everyone would vote for him.

I'm not happy with the DUP, but nothing I can do about it. Will see how it pans out.

we have a brilliant conservative mp, he is fantastic and far more middle ground than his competitors. he doesn't agree with the pm on all things (especially nhs and fox hunting etc) locally we could NOT have done any better. If all voters had voted for the "best" candidate to represent them locally in parliament who knows what would have happened. However there was a lot of protest voting that went on, and no i don't think everyone voted for the best candidate and looked only at the "highlights" of the manifestos, which would have meant a labour candidate or lib deb winning, however the constituents wanted someone with a flawless track record in working for them and we re pleased he's returned. Even his opposition candidates hold him in the highest esteem and have said so to his face. He wants the best for ALL of us (countrywide) and i trust him implicitly to do so.

Some of the others though............wouldn't trust them with my plants.

No indeed TheFallenMadonna, she could have done without it. They thought they would win easily though, EVERYONE thought they would win. Even Corbyn supporters didn't think they would do as well as they did at the beginning.

If she had won massively it WOULD have been better (from a party viewpoint) to go into Brexit with a proper mandate. Let us not forget that many people here were up in arms because 'No one voted for her as prime minister'.

To have taken such a risk and then been so rubbish....words fail me.

The blame lies entirely with TM.

I votes tory. Because of our local tory MP. She retained her seat. I am glad about that.

Not jumping with joy over the result. DUP isnt great. But thats democracy. You just have to accept it move on.

I always thought the election was a bad idea.

I voted labour, and it wasn't to achieve a hung parliament, it was because I don't want to end public services, reduction in policing numbers, and underfunded schools which will certainly have a catastrophic effect over time.

I suspect the current situation won't last long and we'll all be back at the polls again!

The DUP always vote mostly with the Tories anyway. It's not a coalition. The DUP's stance on some issues will be irrelevant, relatively speaking.
Could be worse

It has backfired on all of us. I give not a fig for Theresa May. Risking putting the UK in a weakened position days before Brexit negotiations start was self serving. That's it.

Yes I forgot to add - I wanted a labour win obviously but was delighted with the gains made by Corbyn when the Tories thought they had it in the bag.

Happy the local tory retained her seat. Not happy that we have a hung parliament.
Fed up with the verbal/image attacks on social media from those that lost. Same as brexit. Just because I voted for the winning side doesn't mean I am ill informed/uneducated/delusional/out of touch. We are all entitled to our views and opinions and should accept those differences even if we disagree. What is, will be. Let's stop guessing what the future will bring and take one step at a time. Who knows, it may turn out ok (but then there would be nothing to moan about!).

The tories spent the entire campaign attacking Corbyn for supporting terrorist IRA, yet have no qualms about forming coalition with another Irish paramilitary group? Fickle and double standards.

I voted Conservative but reluctantly, it was a hard decision as didn't like the way the campaign was run or the total focus on brexit/keeping big busines.

Considered voting labour briefly but I trust TM above JC to negotiate brexit, plus v worried by all his pledges to spend, immediately hike corporation tax etc, basically policies too far in the opposing direction/scary possibility of overspending.

Obviously the parties have to differentiate themselves but personally I'd rather stability through moderation, a softer brexit and a little more attention to/ money social issues without blasting business and totally scrapping tuition fees etc. Not offered though!

Unsure how I feel about the result... Worried by hung parliament, glad JC didn't win but hoping TM gets the message that people are generally unimpressed with being taken for granted and are not all consumed by desire for hard brexit!

The UK was already in a weak position for Brexit as far as I could see.

The EU want a very clear guarantee on movement and working.

I didn't vote tory because I don't support them. If I am given the opportunity to vote for the party I support, I will take it. If you don'the want me to, don'the give me the opportunity to do so three yeas before you need to!

In 2010 as a Lib Dems I was incandescent at the coalition sell out. As a 2017 Conservative voter I am incredulous that they have copied up with such a regressive party. I think it will give way to a sickened apoplectic rage very soon. God alone what poor Ruth Davidson is thinking.

So, in hindsight the choice was a bunk up with the 1800s or a return to the 70s. A fairly crappy cheese whichever way you cut it. That leaves the Lib Dems who can't be trusted for aforementioned reasons, and the Greens and their 4 day week. Marvellous.

Am I happy now? No. Am I more or less happy than if JC had got in? I honestly don't know.
