What happened in the recent General Election?

Some would say that the recent General Election was particularly dull. Which I completely disagree with, looking at the events which happened over the course and the build up to the day of General Election shows willing from each party and regions throughout the United Kingdom. Although you could say that the parties took their campaigning to different levels - some effect and some not quite so effective. 

Nigel Farage and his UKIP party were really showing a climax of interest across England. UKIP's main two ideologies was tackling immigration in the UK and leaving the European Union. This built up a lot of interest within the UK. Many individuals started to realise how immigration and the negative sides of the European Union effects their day to day lives. People considered UKIP as a joke of a party who was perceived racist towards immigrants who had entered the country illegally. Due to the success they had in the European elections, many expected UKIP to have a high following into the General Election. However, after the debates between party leaders leading up to the day of the General Election, many turned against UKIP when they struggled to answer and avoided many directed questions faced at them.

The recent Scottish referendum did not match up to the recent General election outcome. The Scottish Referendum suggested that Scotland did not want independence. The results of the General election suggest otherwise, the Scottish National Party who fight for national Scottish rights had 57/59 of the seats within Scotland. The Election in 2010 was filled with 41 seats taken by the Labour. In this General Election the SNP took over Scotland, dominating all the seats originally owned by Labour apart from one. 

The General Election is a clear example of the north south divide. Polls on social media shows that in the North East and North West of England would particularly struggle with living standards if The conservative party won, which they did. 

The overall outcome of the General Election lead to the Conservative Party winning with the overall amount of 331 seats. Although there was a fairly large gap between the 331 seats of the Conservative compared to the next highest Labour with 232 chairs. the voting margin was actually not that dissimilar, meaning that the results where fairly close. 

The country is wearing blue for the next 5 years.
