    Glad im not the only one

    Obviously david cameron will be happy but if he has had to pack everything up and now hes not going anywhere i would be slightly annoyed that i have to unpack it all again without actually moving.

      Although they live in Downing Street they always have another home (Cameron & Blair both had homes in Islington). It's a bit of a muddle behind those doors, I understand that the Blairs found No 10 too small so actually lived in No 11 which has larger living accommodation but Yes their personal stuff does have to be ready to go and when necessary moving vans have been ready at the back doors. I remember seeing film of it at one election but I can't remember which one.

                  I bet the Scottish electorate are chuffed with themselves, they've managed to vote in a Tory government by not voting for the Tories.

                    Can't understand why they're so pleased with the result and think they're going to get loads more influence in Parliament because I'm sure the Conservatives will now bar them from voting on most issues by manipulating separating as many laws as possible between Scotland and England, etc. so as to exclude them from participating. I think the Scots might get very frustrated and angry over the next 5 years.

                      They may as well have stood in the streets, beat their chests and shouted freedom for all the good it is going to do them. In the main, Scots HATE the Tories, end of story, yet by having their protest vote, they have got the very thing they would never want - a Tory PM. And yes, I think the sad thing is that it will not dawn on many of them until we are months down the line and they find out that they have no say in a whole host of policies, particularly fiscal ones.

                      Oh well, lets see how many of us are redundant in a few years time, eh?

                        We had a brand new hospital built...... Labour shut it down

                        We had sat am surgeries..... Labour closed them down

                        We had A&E...... Labour closed it

                        Now our local gp's have decided to work a 3 hr week one wk and a 4 hr wk the next for the next wk ( alternating) for the same salary.


                        I'd like to know how you think the Conservatives have destroyed the Nhs in my area please.

                        The problem is with the Conservatives inheriting the absolute mess Labour left and also the pathetic incapabilities and greed of local health trusts.

                          I'm not sure how you work that out! If all the SNP seats had gone to labour the Tories would still have a majority.

                            I certainly respected him. The coalition is the only reason that the last five years weren't as bad as they could have been. The cost of that to the Lib Dems was too high.

                            I agree. Instead it will be run down and tax breaks offered on private health insurance.
