DigOutYourSoul Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Time to see how much postal vote affected things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Last time i voted tory. This time i voted snp so think i am quite happy. I didn't expect them to get a majority. I struggle to understand the whole thing sometimes. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it means with the tories in power but snp with more seats? My thinking was that it would be tory policies but with increased challenging from the likes of snp. It will probably mean that Cameron will have to watch how he goes when canvassing in the EU referendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you win more seats than all of the other parties put together then you can pass all of your laws as they can't be opposed when MPs vote on them. The other parties can shout all they like but unless the government slips below half of the seats through by-elections there's nothing they can do.

Not as simple and straightforward as that, MP's don't follow the whip everytime, unless they're paying for it obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time was the first election whereby i didnt really know what party to go for. I am probably more aligned to the tories out of everyone but some of their policies are too much. Just seen the kelso result. Can't believe the guy dressed as a knight didn't win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 56 - 1 - 1 - 1 How many people thought it would actually be quite that good? The polls have suggested it for a while. It's about the only thing they got right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
