God, Cameron and the 22 Committee gloating like crazy.
I can understand Cameron and the 22 Committee gloating, but God as well? That's all pretence at divine neutrality out the window...

Well, that's fucking sporting of you.Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband has criticised his brother Ed's leadership of the Labour Party.
He told the BBC Labour had lost the general election because voters "did not want what was being offered".
The leadership had allowed itself to be portrayed as "moving backwards", he said.
But Mr Miliband, who was beaten to the job of leader by his younger sibling in 2010, also said the two of them would "remain brothers for life".
My thinking also. Everyone else all but wiped out, but there they stand.What's notable is just how blue that map of England remains.
FPTP; dontcha love it?
Well maybe so, but to get 322 only adds another 345 votes (Kemptown). So...1246 votes in total, to be precise, could theoretically have prevented the majority administration.pah, nonsense.
That'd only take them down to 324
The prime minister said the Tories needed to show they were the party of compassion by pressing ahead with reforms to welfare and education. Finally, he said, the Tories needed to bring the UK together.
The pundits might call it ‘blue-collar Conservatism’, others being on the side of hardworking taxpayers. I call it being the real party for working people: giving everyone in our country the chance to get on, with the dignity of a job, the pride of a paycheck, a home of their own and the security and peace of mind that comes from being able to support a family.”
“And just as important – for those that can’t work, the support they need at every stage of their lives.”
he forgot to announce his appointment of The Alien as minister for the disabled

David: "me and Ed can still be brothers"

... yeah, except that I don't think they are going to renege on their promise of more devolution to Scotland. (Reneging on that promise would be the biggest mistake a unionist could make at this point.)

Cameron said:"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'," he will say.
Bloody hell, that doesn't even pretend, does it?Another quote that borders on the mildly terrifying:
Talking about new laws to target 'radicalisation'.
The assumption of the labour right in this leadership campaign seems to be that they got their core vote and that wasn't enough so they need to pick up more going right. I wonder if that map indicates they didn't really get their core vote but I think we need more detailed analysisrandom twitter thing, but this article goes more in depth http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...ral-election-if-it-were-a-party-10238290.html

A tsunami of shit is being unleashed. Difference between a tiny majority and a large minority govt might be huge.
did you follow the No campaign? they nearly lost it for themselves... yeah, except that I don't think they are going to renege on their promise of more devolution to Scotland. (Reneging on that promise would be the biggest mistake a unionist could make at this point.)
