mumsnet election - post here once only if you voted Tory

[Janh]

.

Me & dh

I would have if my local MP wasn't such a waste of space. Can't stand and don't trust TB and really hope his majority is completely slashed.

Hadn't meant to confuse - yes I did vote Tory.

Me!

And dh

And my Dad

And my MIL

And my FIL

And my SIL

And my Nan

And my Grandad

And dh's Nan

I did too, so did DD (postal vote as at Uni in Paris, and DH did.

Some one nicked our sign from thre garden, scoured the lane tyo see if it had been dumped.It was returned last night and dropped in the middle of our drive, wierd or what!!

We returned a conservative MP, didn't think it would happen, but she did amazingly well, first time since 1992

bump to show Cam

Well done alibubbles - we retained Con but with a bigger majority this time

MH just announced that he is standing down... I'm really surprised. No I don't like him, but he has been a very good leader for the Tories. I can't see anybody else being as good as he has been.

Ann Widecombe now in R-5-Live being interviewed, I take it back, I think she could be a good leader.

I would love Ann Widdecombe!! A woman with some kick ass moves! Sort of.

tory for me too
shame about mh, i like him

I too voted Tory as did everybody else I know. Now we have a government with less than 25% of the UK population having voted them in making all the policies - is that right?

Nope!

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only this time, but every time in the past and the future. That not only makes me a Tory voter, but a rabid Tory supporter too, and the laugh is, I think some people here are worried they know me!

I'm happy to know you but wish I knew who you bloody were!

But in a way, Gobbledigook, you are adding to my worries. I mean, you want to know who I am because I vote Tory. I donn't see why that matters. Like me or dislike me for better reasons than how I vote. (Although I can see you must feel a sense of camaraderie with me, which I reciprocate )

fsmail, there was at least one wonderful election victory for the Tories with a smaller share of the vote than Labour (something like 12m v 13m) so I wouldn't pursue that line of argument IIWY

We have a very flawed electoral system. We need PR.

Malcolm Rifkind (Kensington & Chelsea, it just seems to sit there waiting to accommodate homeless top Tories) and John Redwood were on World at One today, it was v v weird - let's do the time warp again!

HT - it's only because you've hidden your identity that I'm curious iyswim. It's not that I'd 'behave' any differently towards you! I'm just nosey and if someone says 'I know something and I'm not telling you', then of course I'll want to know!

I don't think the 25% thing is right at all. If you didn't vote you don't count so I think it should be purely the proportion of people who voted for each party that count.

Gobbledigook BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh God, I can't believe this happening again, but I agree with CD that the relevant figure is the number of voters, or possibly even those who are eligible to vote.

I am part of the population, but sadly not eligible to vote. But I would most likely vote Tory if I could.

would have guessed really

whoe tyhread turns into a riot

me and dh voted tory. and my mum did.
