Nope - not for one minute! Why on earth would I?

In 1979, it soon became hard to find anyone who had voted for Mrs Thatcher's Tories. Shortly after the election, we had a car sticker proclaiming 'Don't blame me, I voted Labour'. We had our tyres slashed as a consequence!

I'm curious as to whether the 12,257 who voted Ukip as apposed to the 9,673 who voted Labour in this constituency are regretting it.

If you voted Tory and that's what you've got I can't see why you would regret it.

My vote is my business smile

I would assume that anyone who voted Tory did so because they thought that a Tory majority would be the best outcome, so why should they now regret it? The question does sound a bit like the old no-yes-or-no one "And are you still beating your wife?" - taking for granted past offences.

No, absolutely not.

I am with the others, merlot and co. and I do have a mind although I do not choose to air it on these threads.

Nope! - also with merlot

mishap you can 'assume' all you like but you are wrong in 'assuming' many Conservative voters do not know their own minds

to turn it back at you

Do some labour voters now regret their decision?.

I agree with merlot, again!

Nope!

Good question - but wouldn't they have voted LibDem if they wanted a coalition? I think they'll regret it when one of the new policies actually comes up and bites them or theirs. But no doubt they'll be able to rationalise by blaming someone else.

I think there are probably more LibDem ex supporters now regretting not voting for them. And I assume that a lot of people didn't vote Labour 'because' of the thought of a coalition. A lot of confused voters I guess, [me included] with all the talk of tactical voting etc.

I am assuming that many did so expecting that there would be some sort of coalition. I wonder how many are now regretting their choice.
