Response to Nem's news post:
Because I cannot comment on it on the news for being too long:
Conservatism is an evil much, much greater than Tony Blair could ever be. Conservatism stands for supporting the rich over the poor, it stands for putting old and dated and therefore useless morals ahead of any social progression - homosexuality, racism and homelessness all falling victim to it.
And it of course is led by evil. Margret Thatcher. John Major. Michael Howard. Every one of them holds no regard for anyone but themselves and the people that pay to support them.
Liberal politicians, such as Labour or the Lib-Dems fight for better health services, a better economy, a more united populace where sexuality, race or wealth does not count into how well you live. THAT should be the country we SHOULD be living in.
If I could have voted, i'd have voted Labour. I can't have voted Labour of course as there is no Labour Party in Northern Ireland. All I have to choose from are the sectarian biggots of Sinn Fein, the DUP, the UUP and SDLP and i'm glad the British public that DID have a say kept the right man in power.
The Iraq war was completely and utterly wrong - but it wasn't Tony Blair that came up with it, he was just the idiot for following Bush into it. Howard would have done it too. Chances are, even though they opposed it back then, the Lib-Dems if they by some miracle were in power - THEY would have done it too.
Personally, I think the Lib-Dems and their greater level of honesty would make a much better liberal government. If they could actually come up with some strong and consistent policies.
The Labour Party is the best thing for this country at this moment. The Conservatives would take us out of Europe, would cut us off from America and ruin our economy - most of which is fuelled by outside investment, by immigrants that live here legally doing jobs we don't want to and that has lived strong in a country with a stable and popular government - something the Conservatives have never been able to give us in a hundred years.
They'd invoke racism, they'd push people from their jobs in further privitisation and they'd have had no strong youth backing. Why? Because Conservatism is an 'old fogey' party. It leads it's policies with old ideals that do not count or matter any more in a progressive world.
They simply do not care about youth, we're just the 'louts on the streets' to them.
There are MANY, many reasons why the Conservatives should not have gotten into power last night and probably should never get into power ever again after their last chance.
What was important was that Tony Blair got a strong kicking for his disastrous war - but if anyone but Tony Blair was Prime Minister today we would ALL be screwed.
Nothing can be possibly worse than conservatism and to live in a country ruled by another tyranical and dark Tory party would have been my greatest nightmare.
Alex is stupid. I can't believe Tony Blair is PM AGAIN.
For months EVERYONE has been saying how the labour goverment is on a downwards spiral and are destroying the country.
This election gave us a chance to do something about it. So what does everyone do?
They vote for them again.
my town has had huge protests about our MP, yet she wins again with a large majority. It's so stupid, if you don't like something, don't vote for it.
After this and Bush, I'm seriously loosing faith in democracy, and can see the UK never getting rid of a Labour goverment.
But hey, if people want to pay extoranate amounts of top up fees for higher education, which we were told would not happen, fair play to them.
