I'm sorry but she's a disgrace.
The harm they have done to poor people in.places like Hakney is huge. There is absolutely no excuse for voting tory if that's your background.

The even funnier thing is that my dad was a lot more well off than she was and he actually voted labour until they met. So strange.
My Turkish mate lives in a council house and he voted Tory because he preferred their policy on housing or something.

The pound in your pocket
"The pound will be revalued at one pound 10p, so it will now be worth 10p more. Common sense."
The NHS
"If you come to A&E and it's neither an accident nor an emergency then you will be sent to a random hospital department to be practised on. Common sense."
Foreign Policy
"Germany has been too quiet for too long. Just saying."
Immigration
"Of course the reason they are coming here is because this is the greatest country in the world. The only way to stop them is for a government to change that and make things a whole lot worse. Look no further. However, in the meantime, we brick up the Channel Tunnel. With British bricks. Probably have to get some Poles in to do it. Common sense."
Education
"I believe the children are the future and there's no way you'll get me knocking teachers. Teachers are on the front line, the coalface. Doing their bit to create a level playing field for our kids... although I'm not sure they're going about it the right way by making sure none of the kids can read and write. So, instead of a postcode lottery, a new improved Street Raffle will determine which schools your kids get in to. Common sense."
Scotland
"Alex Salmond to be made First Minister for Norwich, so he can get to understand what being ignored by the rest of the country is really like. Common sense."
Europe
"I pledge that the UK will leave Europe by 2025 and the edge of the Solar System by 2050. Common Market sense. In the meantime Greece to be bought and operated by Kent County Council. Couldn't be worse. Someone to do the bins at least."
The environment
"Boris Johnson to be put on an island. He keeps saying that's what he wants."
Corporations and globalisation
"Blah blah blah blah blah paradigm blah blah blah, blah blah dialectic blah blah blah blah blah blah game-changer."
Homes for hard-working families
"Build some houses, but without bringing down house prices. How hard can it be?"
Defence
"National Service, but only for people who don't want to do it."
Law and Order
"Unemployment causes crime: I propose to lock up the unemployed. Common sense."
On Local issues
"South Thanet to be made the new capital of the UK. Demilitarised zone to set-up between North and South Thanet."

How can a party reach the outright majority with only 36,9% of the votes ?!
And without regard to their "election programme" how did the UKIP end up with only one seat after they got 12,6% of the overall votes .. ridiculous.
Plurality vote is totaly shit the system we use here in Germany (Mixed-member proportional representation) is not perfect but much more fair.

All of Scotland's population trusts the SNP. That means SNP MP's should represent Scotland in Parliament, not via FPTP, which would give the Scots even less a voice than they have now
The system is perfectly all right

Well if you think so ..
So around 11,300,303/30,691,680 (or 36,8%) votes now represent more than 50% of the seats, yeah of course that sounds really fair
That means they needed around 34,300 (total votes/seats) votes to get one seat while f.e. the "Libs" needed 300,000 votes for one seat, "Green" needed around 1,155,000 votes for one seat and the UKIP ended up with around 3,875,000 votes per seat while SNP only needed 26,000 votes per seat.
