Depressing news to wake up to. I suppose it could be worse than a Conservative majority in a hung parliament- the Tories could have had a straight win. But still.
I'm going to have to avoid the news for weeks now to avoid seeing David Cameron's big, smug face.
I'm trying to be heartened by the fact that the BNP didn't get any seats. I would have lost faith in humanity if that had happened

And I couldn't agree more about the BNP. Given all the borderline / actively prejudiced discussions of immigration in politics lately, I was concerned, especially given the European elections. I suppose it suggests that it's just possible, the English Democrats and split the far right vote somewhat and do have, by default the tiniest of redeeming features.
I was pleased to see the Green Patry finally getting a seat, even if there manifesto was held together by organic hemp string. An informed and independent voice can be a good thing.
