I think a lot of the comments you read on certain newspaper websites and sometimes on here involve spite,of course you cannot read all tory voters minds,but i,m sure a lot of them were swayed by the main thrust of the tory campaign,which was vote for us and we'll clamp down on immigration and eradicate all those benefit scrounging,sky subscribing,4x4 owning lead swingers who also holiday abroad !

Spite is a horrible thing and fills the papers and channel 5 daily,no doubt some of us have heard of that "homeless" bloke who drives to his plush pad in his Jag after a hard days begging,and of course that jobless bloke who is convinced that there is an entirely different more generous benefit system available only to immigrants and layabouts.

Spite i think should be considered anti-social behaviour,like dropping litter or spitting in the street.Perhaps the woman on question time now thinks differently and made a mistake voting tory,but spite is not a mistake its a conciuos decision maintained with determination even in the face of opposing evidence.I noticed during general elections before this one,crime was a major central issue,recently it seemed to dissapear off the radar replaced with rows about benefits and immigration,the thoughts i take from this is that politicians and now the public regard being poor and benefit dependant as a crime in itself
