TWO HALVES OF THE DIVIDED
Friday, 8 May 2015
POST ELECTION DAY
That plan went south and I have not slept at all!
But not because of the election!
I was, since around 10.30pm last night, and still am at 11.46am, in some terrible pain once again as a previous health issue returns complete with blood.
As I stayed up and between the many bouts of pain I managed to stab out a blow by blow of my reactions to the general election which were something of a surprise believe me.
I did not think the Conservatives would get a majority win and thought UKIP would get far more seats than they did, Liberals did far worse than I could ever have imagined and I was at least right about Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP though they did better than I thought they would. Well I will rephrase that I thought they would do brilliantly and they did fantastic.
In the recent hours while working through two cups of tea I have come to realise the factors that led to the result that occurred.
They are not good.
However after I list them I will then point on something that no one on TV has, along with their inability to explain to a confused 'me' why the Conservatives were going to win when I watched them stay 35 seats in front for three hours or more!
Ed Milliband being ripped apart over bacon sandwiches, i.e the media reason number 1
The incessant preaching of News Media that it was going to be a Labour/SNP coalition and scared everyone English. So media reason number 2 and Scottish backfiring number 1.
So many seats going to the SNP which led to the party they detest the most gaining a lot of ground over Labour. Scottish reason number 2.
The public still believing in split voting and telling each other not to waste their votes and vote Labour, weird as it sounds because those who would otherwise had voted Liberal and even UKIP went to Labour and Conservatives, giving the Conservatives more gains here. English public being naive and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy ... hmm that does not sound right, lol.
Despite all the and even with UKIP doing far worse than I thought this is only when it comes to seats in the House of Commons. What they did immediately was come in second in two of the first three results a feat of which they have never managed before in a general election. So not only did they achieve second place for the first time it went onto two then three and a host more.
I certainly hope Nigel Farage breaks his word and does not step down or the rest of UKIP are not idiots and beg him to stay. Because I have had a few theories even before the general election about the next one! But only if he remains.
Now as I stated in a text to a left wing relative the public has to change these naive and very old ways of thinking to get the Tories out.
I also thought it was highly amusing they way they made it sound like 80% of the British public agree with them being in?! First off they have already forgotten about Scotland!! Nice going piss-ants!
Secondly they did not get the majority of the people behind them even with the figures, the majority of the seats does not mean the majority of the people. Not even close.
Thirdly there scared the hell out of English people by making the Scots look like bad people and claiming that a SNP/Labour coalition would make life a misery for anyone English. So they stole votes from others and likely this is where UKIP suffered along with those naive to just keep believing what the media say about people. I do not.
Now what I also stated to my family member is that there is something else that the media fails to notice and that is that the SNP hate the austerity measures and have 56 seats the last I counted. Labour had 228 and the Liberals poor really makes what I predict a little tricky..
If you think of the Conservatives as right wing the only other party was UKIP...except they only got one seat. With 18 results to go, according to The Telegraph's website, Labour have 229, SNP 56, Liberals 8 and 23 others. that is 316.
Now as stated there are still a few votes to go but that closeness just might cause David Cameron a headache. For in the process of putting any bills through he had better pray that he has every single member of his party on side.
The only other vote they can count on is UKIP's one and likely everyone else will vote against any changes sounding like more austerity measures. I do not know if there are any bi-elections coming up either.
If the numbers remained as they are Cameron would only need 9 of his legion of 325 to disagree with him.
Also added to this and though the election did not go how I hoped it ... kind of went how I expected, I just did not imagine the Tories getting a majority, I think the smiles will be short lived. I imagine there are a lot of voters today waking up stunned that the Conservatives now have a majority?! Hmm I just thought ... I wonder how many seats they could count on before this election? By which I mean to say Tories and Liberals?
That was the real surprise was not just how badly the Liberals did but how well the Tories did and quite how a Liberal held seat goes to a Tory I simply do not know. Obviously Liberal voters hated them for siding with the Tories and allowing them into Downing Street so based on this the Tories doing that well is just ... remarkable.
But the fact is I think there will be a hell of a lot of voters extremely unhappy with who won? Just hazarding a guess here but many of those that hated them were convinced David Cameron would not be Prime Minister. I had hoped but told them I was not so sure before then having getting lectured about how everyone is 'pissed off' with the Tories. I agreed but ... well they stated the two party system is dead. It is not and still has a pulse, yes its dying but still alive.
Because people are naive and vote with their heads instead of their hearts.
But these people that voted with their heads are now realising that their 'heads' err umm err erred!
OOPS!
Well I did warn about this on here ... unfortunately as I stated to my relative it was clear to me for some time I would not reach the numbers needed to affect the outcome, not by a country mile. I could add a zero on the end and it would still have not affected the outcome.
HOWEVER!
I have crept over 210,000 people and was in the process of calculating my monthly figures before realising that 3 weeks ago I had failed to put in a figure I cannot now access and have to start again. I was getting between 12,000 and 14,000 several months back. I wont be able to now get this figure for another 3 weeks or so.
But this is in less than 3 years, do not forget and is indeed 2 years and 9 months at the time of typing.
Now think that the next election is 5 years away.
What do you think the numbers might be by then and what kinds of horrors would the poor, low paid, jobless and disabled have been put through between now and then?
Hmm I was typing this out to just mention a few things that occurred to me while I was waiting for the document from my tablet to arrive on my PC. Got carried away there, lol.
Damn it! Pain!
Oh! Labour just gained a seat to reach 229.
Ooh yeah I nearly forgot...that's what I was going to say and I just remembered something else too...
The outcome of the election will not affect me in anyway. I voted not for personal reasons for things happening to me or because I believe I would benefit financially in some way or have stress lifted from my life. Not at all.
I voted because I am sorry to see how this country has turned out and how they have treated their own people in this country. This is why I am shocked the Tories are in and believe it is either a fluke or not enough British people have suffered. I voted in the hope of making life easier for others while others voted for more pain and misery. Odd, just plain odd, lol.
Damn it!
Forgot what the other thing was I was going to say!
Bloody hell, man! The email has not arrived either and now I am going to have to go and check if it was sent and if not I am tossing that tablet over the fence into the river!! I really must do away with the frustration of Android devices, due to my condition, lol.
It will become obvious in the coming months that the outcome of the election was never going to affect me in any way.
Hmm I sent myself an email from my hotmail account to my hotmail account to tell me I bought an App on iTunes, which I do not use, for some frog app err thingey?! My God how do idiots come up with the idea they have intelligence and think up bloody stupid ways to grab your money?! Well I guess, thinking about it they only need people who are less intelligent than they are to make money, lol?
Yes I was going to paste below what I typed out during the night and some of my thoughts ... OH I REMEMBER NOW!
The night was not a complete loss as the two people I dislike the most in politics lost their seats! Yes, yes I did kind of punch the air on these counts! This is because one of them I famously dislike on here and make no bones about it and blame him for the Baby Peter fiasco full on and wont listen to anything on this.
That was Ed Balls.
The other one was another politician I lambasted on here as much as I did Ed Balls and this time it is a Tory. Hmm I remember also that Ed Balls might be a problem for Labour and I thought the public will realise what i did about him? Well it seems enough of them did in his own constituency. Quite possibly the rest of the country did not like the idea of him being chancellor and in all honesty he was part of the old Blair years. I think he may have been their Achilles heel?
Yes ... I digress. This other politician is a woman and in all honesty whenever she spoke in interviews and on TV my skin crawled. Literally, She was matter of fact and bossy in her attitude despite now having the facts. She sounded cold and cruel in her manner too when she was talking about those she and her compatriot, Iain Duncan-Smith, were picking on.
That was Esther McVey. I also did not realise she was an MP for an area in the Wirral, where my daughter grew up. Oh and now Labour has 330 but the Conservatives have another seat to take theirs to 326.
Oops Farage has resigned, damn it! That is UKIP finished then!
Nick Clegg gone, well full gone conclusion that one as is Ed Milliband. Though I think Ed Milliband did OK considering and I can say with certainty that his brother would have ended up the same. because he was the old school that got us here and I doubt he would have sounded any different either. At least Ed tried to sound different and he was cheated out of a few seats and the Scottish vote was a full gone conclusion too, though a bit better than expected. That did not help him either.
I love the way the media used the SNP vote to decide the outcome of the whole election on the night but had been saying for weeks that the vote for the SNP would be far greater than previous votes. So why did they not tell us then David Cameron had won?
I wish I had been in the studio as their were several political people that are household names that are really arrogant twats and nowhere near as smart as they like to think they are. I would have had a field day ripping them up and finished by saying ... "Well why don't we save the country a humongous pile of money the next time around and we will not bother with ballot boxes, we will just come to you and ask you how everyone feels?!" dumb-arses!
No, it is no good I am going to have to trapse up the damn stairs and throw my Advent Tegra Note Tablet against a wall as I hate the thing so much! never again with Android. I will leave that OS to idiots, naive people and those that only type out the odd text message and not any documents of any length.
What a pile of money I wasted throwing it at Google and Android!
And that is on Jellybean which is far better than KitKat which has rendered basic functions as confusing and I do not get confused. Texting or simply adding contacts along with accessing your contacts list is now unnecessarily complicated.
Now if anyone had plans or has been working on a Linux OS to used on phones now is the time to strike! You would make a very quick rise to popularity as long as your quick and the system is not typical Linux.
No, Linux fanboys, making it so you have to tinker instead of it being an option will never make it popular. But thats what the distributors want, the fanboys do not because they like that cult like status. Odd that its the opposite to what the creators want, lol.
It will take Google an age to correct the mess that is now Android and several updates have not corrected the things wrong with the original version of Jellybean, of which there have now been four or more I think?
With Kitkat they left them there and added more! Also not only is the swipe keyboard utterly abysmal but I am sure it was coded my Mormons because it refuses to type, or maybe its just my phone was previously owned by a Morman, stupid words. 'People' has become a big problem for it and refuses to type 'Virgin', Richard Branson phone your lawyer, and other things too. Anyone who is a fast typist on a standard keyboard or digital keyboard with stop and realise there text is a bloody mess and that because it puts in alternate words a spell check wont spot it. In fact I have just realised I do not think their is a spell check on the blog apps of either Blogger or Wordpress?!
A service and app that only has to do with typed words and no spell check and a keyboard and operating system that refuses to type words it does not like!
Documents scaling to the screen suddenly became a big problem too and must be Android as it affects more than one app and never used to affect any app.
One last thought about the election...the Scots succeeded but cwhich backfired on them because they had the intelligence to see that the two party system is over and backfired because they failed to realise that the English still ive in the past and self-fulfil the notion of two party politics. Hmm possibly the Welsh too?
Ahh finally!
My random election notes are finally here and I caqn stop rambling on, copy and paste them, post this and then decide if I am now safe to venture out the house because the periods between painful cramps has increased somewhat.
Election Notes ...

UKIP ON A ROUT
Well this was fast better for them than even I thought they would do?!
I knew it was going to have large gains for UKIP based on what I was seeing and reading and when a friend if June who had voted conservative all his life said that he would vote for them I just had a feeling it would be pretty good.
This is beyond pretty good and when I think about it I should not be that surprised but still I am, lol.

CYPRUS DEBARCLE
Was listening to the chap in Cyprus make his speech when something occurred to me.
While I was out I have it more thought and realised something I had not realised beforehand. This became galvanised when I saw a fuss being made over Boris Johnson and his wish to be Prime Minister?!
Are you SERIOUS?! My God how many if the wrong people do you have to elect befit you realise you have been helping make things worse?! We are years into a recession for Christ sake?! Of all the people, and I like Boris as person, a guys is being made of another Tory and out worries me people will just think oh he if likeable let is vote him in?!
Jesus Christ look up the word 'fickle' in a dictionary?! I think we are at a point whereby the next election will be 4 or 5 years into a recession and voting on the wrong person will condemn us to another 5 and....well certainly MORE blood on the streets of large cities!
I keep saying this but I know the way it should go to save this country will never be voted on. I do doubt there are enough people intelligent enough and not voting because that's how the family have done it for generations...or my dad does it or you can't have them in because...excuses.
It is only for 5 bloody years it is not a lifetime what is wrong with trying a new, different and more modern choice for once?!
Do you not think that anyone new would want to make sure they made s success of it?!
Now here is the very thing that has occurred to me today while out...
...if the people responsible are still voted in or come a close seconds as has always been the way then I think that...
...these two will think that they can get away with absolutely anything in future and they will still get voted on or a close second?!
Utter naive madness to allow them to EVER think like that!!
