UK election results: Hung parliament, Tories on top, Liberals down

The count is nearly finished in the UK general election with the Conservative party well ahead of Labour. Despite the likelihood the Tories will get the most seats, it will fail to gain a majority, meaning there will be first hung parliament in decades. Meanwhile, an enquiry has been launched into why some voters were turned away from the ballot box.

'To decide once every few years which members of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament--this is the real essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in parliamentary- constitutional monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics.'

Vladimir Lenin, "The State and Revolution" (1918)

@29Gixxer The lib dems are as far to the right as the popular vote can go in Scotland given the lingering mistrust of the Conservatives following Thatchers ill-advised poll-tax trial and no one likes UKIP (eww). I'm a Scot btw.

@29Gixxer The independence lot are the noisiest bunch so tend to get heard more since maintaining the status quo is not particularly news worthy in any context. It's a short-sighted populist idea that plays well in polemical speeches and nothing more. The majority of Scottish people would not vote for independence. The SNP is to the left of Labour and is predominantly elected on that basis and as such are pro-public spending and so demand as much of it as possible from Westminster.
