I voted conservative

Yes, people Tory shame but see it from the point of view in low income areas, people who work minimum wage jobs who don't have the comfort if budgets are cut.

I worked as a carer for my grandmother before she died and realistically I don't see how she could have stayed at home if I couldn't get that mere £60 a week looking after her, where would she go? A home

Yes, the conservatives are realistic but, they also deceive so fucking much its incredible. They promise referendums on Europe whenever they want to renegotiate a deal not because they don't see it as beneficial. The amount of businesses would shift their headquarters elsewhere would cause more loss than gain.

People are pissed because they got in despite 60% of the country voting against them. They should be. I will tell you this much now as well, I worry for our country and where I live, I worry for the people who cannot work who are going to get told they need to get a job, I worry for the people who are going to suffer due to NHS cuts.

I am unemployed and I worry for my well being, I worry that I will have to work on a 0 hour contract. They are a fear scaremongering party and they tell you we were almost like Greece and that our deficit is extremely high despite being the lowest in the G7.

I'm pissed off I live in a country that is going to become a survival of the fittest and the unfit can fuck off.

My background made me this way but, I have seen this shit I have seen people who are currently just getting by on welfare and they want to cut it further? No thanks, I know people who are forced to live with their parents in their mid twenties because 0 hour contracts mean they don't know when they can afford to live alone.

It looks like that's what 30% of the voters went for though, so I guess that's what we are stuck with.

The sooner first past the post is changed the sooner you will more forward thinking parties gaining votes, not just the 'Oh, you're poor? vote Labor' and 'Oh you're rich? vote Conservative'

Believe it or not, not all people can go to University and live a life of a well paid job. Not because they didn't pay attention in school but, because they could never realistically afford to take the risk on failing and having that debt.

I don't know if you know this but, the one War Memorial that was vandalized makes most people sick to the bone, not just Tories. However, if people want to protest. They are allowed, they are allowed to say they don't want Cameron because of the increase of food banks and homelessness, because of welfare cuts that people rely on and because people just don't want to live in austerity. Shocking right?

You say you have a 'darkened view on the left' but, that surely doesn't make you any better than anyone who is using hate against another voter. Don't let a handful of individuals change your outlook on another parties voters.

That is what we have to deal with now, the country will of course be in a financially better place, that's great but, there are going to be people who suffer in these next five years because of welfare cuts because apparently being a country with a lower deficit than everyone else is more important than the well being of its people.
