Conservatives kicked some liberal butt in Britain… but not enough

The Tory victory in the UK (although without glamorous fireworks at the end) was expected. The conservative wave that started in Germany hit Britain and is now on its way to America. The only surprised faces over the results were those of the Liberal Democrats. They thought that Barbie face Nick Clegg Obama-like rhetoric will carry them long way. The liberal media in the Great Kingdom drooled out so much saliva over St. Nick that Bernie Goldberg may collect enough for a Slobbering Love Affair – British edition... The Tories however did not get the majority. Two things sunk them: climate change and Big Society.

The whole world knows the global warming is a scheme. Al Gore is buying multimillion dollar mansion next to the ocean. Unless he wants to dive to reach his bedroom – seems like Gore does not believe in climate change.

The Cameron’s “Big Society” is the absolute joy killer. Folks in Britain are very skeptical towards EU and even toward their own big government in London. With the rocky times the EU is having the word that was missing in the Tory promises was “referendum” in/out of the EU.

Conservatives made significant gains. It’s unreasonable to undo in one election what has taken years for socialists to acquire.

36 seat margin for the Conservatives over the Islamist loving Labour Party to this point.

Maybe the Conservatives will still make it to 326.

I agree, but they lost a lot from the right wing UKIP and BNP who refused to vote for the Tories - because of the climate change and no promise for referendum in EU. The big news tomorrow may be the vote of the far-right - if I have to guess.

Uneven Tory gains boost chance of hung parliament Labour 'has lost its mandate to govern,' says Cameron; Lib Dems fare poorly; anger as voters are turned away from polls.

"In Westminster, House of Commons officials were preparing to welcome the biggest new intake of MPs in a generation. Up to 350 new MPs are expected to enter Parliament, after dozens of politicians retired in the wake of the expenses scandal exposed by The Daily Telegraph last year."

"Voter turnout was forecast to have been more than 70 per cent. This would be the highest since at least 1997.

Their problem is that so far the right wing UKIP and BNP have almost million of votes and 0 seats. The right wing folks thought the Tory are too socialist and voted on principle - some will say they wasted their vote. At the end they may have a million votes and 0 seats for the far-right. With the UKIP leader in a plane crash they just refused to hold their noses and vote for establishment conservatives. It is like if the tea party refuses to vote republican - similar situation.

Always remember, Neville Chamberlain was a Tory.

Too many chavs getting too fat to work and having babies.

2 years to use the Levers of Power to boost their image, then a carefully-engineered “no confidence” vote ..... bingo, new election, new chance.

Classic minority strategy.
