The Labour Party went on record by the words of their leader Ed Miliband, many times, publicly on TV to categorically state they would NOT align themselves with the SNP.

The election can really be summed up like this. The SNP rise punished Labour, The Lib Dems were all but wiped out seats wise and that punished Labour more than the Tories and the honours were more or less even between the Tories and Labour = majority for the Tories and lots of happy Tory voters aka Southerners.
The interesting thing is this leaves NI, Scotland, most of Wales and a lot of northern England not really represented by the UK government.

When? Nothing will ever rise in this country as the English are too wet to ever actually do anything about their plight other than posting on Facebook and voting Tory 
You need to look to proper nations like France and Australia to see how people power can make things happen.

Secondly there was no possible good outcome of this election IMO hence why I chose not to vote, but you knew that as I must have written it at least six times and you have responded to at least half of them. Therefore I can assume that once again you are wanting to reignite our exchanges having claimed that you didn't do that just the other day! You are a whining little hypocrite!
PS you need to edit the jibes in a bit quicker in future! Your original post is as quoted here

The Deputy Leader of UKIP Paul Nutall seems the most camera/public speaking savvy of the candidates behind Farage. However there was just something about Farage and how he came across that got him 4 million or thereabouts votes across the UK. I don't think anyone else will manage that again.

I have never really been in favour one way or the other of PR, but this morning I cannot see how anyone can defend a system where a party getting 12% of the vote gets 1 seat and another getting 36% of the vote gets 323!!!!!

I didn't vote thanks to a massive **** up by our inept local Council.
But the Lib Dem MP has been ousted by a Tory. That may seem bad but the Lib Dem guy was a complete bloody idiot who never addressed local issues so any change is good. And he was fat.
The new guy is an ex postman and appears to be a vaguely normal human being. If they can put the brakes on the out-of-control holiday home building frenzy here, that's all that matters to me. Oh and he isn't fat.
