The peoples' 'national interest' is with the people who are already suffering most and least able to survive the undisclosed real pain they are going to have to suffer over the next few years, through no fault of their own. Those who recklessly gambled with our savings, taxes and pensions have made sure they are well fixed for the high life throughout all of this.

They are now being assisted in a TORY 'national interest' ploy to reap a 'first past the post' harvest by Cameron, Osborne, Hague and Pickles against the obvious wishes of a newly activated electorate for proportional representation. Many were turned away when the polls could not handle them in a record turn out for the election.

A short lived parliament on this basis will put our trust in MPs, and our place in the world, back for many years after the city gents have disappeared with their loot. Those who support them will gain nothing and lose respect, no matter how they try to justify it.
