Default So much anger from Labour this morning ..

Wow some seriously aggressive comments from Labour supporters this morning, I stand by my indifference to each party but it's worth considering what kind of person insults someone else for voting for their chosen party.

Very football like this, history has proven both parties to be useless, do you really think it makes any difference?

Maybe it sums up the type of people voting Labour

It's the same with a minority of Labour supporters on this forum too. Sore losers.

I've been doing some research and (although it's pretty obvious) it does appear the majority of Labour voters form the lower earning brackets.

"With the proportion living in social housing now so much lower than it was 20 years ago,this is a much less useful demographic group to analyse. Nevertheless, it is significant that of all the demographic sub groups analysed the only one where any party got more than 50% of the vote was Labour support amongst those in social housing. At the other end of the scale, only 29% of those who own their home outright said they were going to vote Labour. The outright owners were far more likely to be Conservative, with 44%. Fewer than one in five of those in social housing said there were going to vote Conservative, and they were equally unlikely to support the Lib Dem’s. "

I could say the same for anyone who Insults a supporter of any party.

But I can't help thinking the vocal and aggressive die hard supporters are part of the UKs problems; I honestly think these people have to be delusional in thinking that any of the major parties is the answer.

If Party A get a nation into a pile of **** and Party B are seen as improving the situation then Party A supporters cannot really complain when Party B are voted back in.

Labour made their bed and now they are lying in it.

Labour are vile, their supporters showed no decorum during result announcements. How the hell the got re-elected in Rotherham I'll never know.

Just like the SN Tory hating massive who were voting UKIP, if the poll in the other thread is to be believed.

People saying that the fear of a Labour-SNP coalition has dropped the UKIP vote.

The local elections might be interesting.

Along with some late commitment from Cameron on referendum, 5 year waiting for newcomers seeking benefits, etc






Or straight out of Europe....

Was it just anger from Labour though?
Was it not from every non Tory that woke up to the thought of another term under Cameron... and the idea that the trough will be full again for the snouts to go dipping in.

Hm. Here on SN, we see some people (not just Labour supporters) often insulting one another for voting for and praising their chosen party. I wonder if those insulting bodies belong to the lower earning brackets or what. Or, are they just cognitively and emotionally poor? Poverty comes in different forms.

Pimmo's posts on this thread are thought provoking for sure.

If labour had returned to power there would be similar comments from conservative supporters. It has nothing to do with which part of the social ladder your on and more to do with human nature.

Labour always were seen to be the working mans party up the road here, sadly that's changed big time.

Agreed.

The exact types who refuse to accept the Newage on WRX>STI

Joking aside the Left, Labour supporters, UAF, Respect Party and Hope Not Hate folks are becoming genuinely hostile by nature.

I can understand why you would add me to your idiot list, but Pimmo? He's just making a valid observation.

Thought provoking, alright. Not sure about it being 'valid', though.

Anger sentiment and its display isn't essentially a feature of the economically poor. He attempts to marry dysfunctional post-election reaction with a particular party, which is a biased attempt. He talks about his research (source unknown), which bears the long standing, already well-known facts for years, but he doesn't offer the source for his baseline observation.

Sure, fair enough, but I'm seeing from all demographics on Twitter and FB. Though I guess it's more "fashionable" these days to be anti-establishment.

FFS you need to chill out, I was just having a laugh hence the emoticon.

Look, seriously now, you bleated on and on the other day about how you only engage me if I have a pop at you otherwise you will ignore me. Since then you have at least three times engaged me for no good reason and then ended up moaning.

Why not leave it alone or zip the whining and give as good as you get?

PS I am not and never would be on FB!! Make of that what you will!
