We have a Conservative Prime Minister

[sparkindarkness]

David Cameron is now PM. Words can’t express how depressing this is.

The part of meanness, cruelty, callousness and bigotry is now in power. Hopefully their lack of a majority will hamstring them from reversing all that we have achieved these last few years – some of it will go, certainly. We’re heading to a less fair, less equal, less compassionate and less valued society – but enough is entrenched and the Tory’s mandate is slim enough that most should be safe.

Going forward is unlikely to be on the cards – in any area.

The silver lining is hoping that the Lib Dems have enough principles to oppose the worst of the Tory excesses – or whether they’ll just act as an easily bought rubber stamp. It remains to be seen.

I despair of humanity – and the country – that so many are willing to support such a callous, bigoted group as the Tories. Maybe we don’t deserve better.
