Surely David Cameron must now be heralded as one of the greatest british PM's of the modern era. In the face of such overwhelming odds, he has pulled off the greatest electoral upset of a generation.
The mandate is clear, it is a vindication of his economic and social policies.

Yes, whatever people think about him, it is incredible to see what he achieved. Absolutely staggering.
Absolutely breathtaking. 24 hours ago who would have thought it.
The life cycle of any Long serving PM of all parties.
However credit does have to go to Cameron for managing to win this thing outright. No matter what else has been going on with other parties, his party got the votes at the end of the day and to pull off such a recovery from the depths of 2011/12, where the collapse of his government seemed possible and the nation was rioting on the streets, is remarkable. Fair play to him.
well they massively overplayed their hands they have loads of seats and no power, I do believe people were genuinely uneasy about a lab/SNP coalition and I think Cameron played on that
A lot of those people who were worried about that and altered their vote now have a lot more to be worried about.
His party engineered the most negative campaign in British election history, managed to answer even less questions than the others and he chickened out of a leader's debate. This was a victory based upon fear.
Three people I'm happy to see continue in their roles.
Wow, did you catch any of the campaign? If you did then perhaps you could enlighten me as to the details of the cuts the Tories will make? The whole Tory campaign was based around a fear of the SNP and a refusal to answer any questions about their own policies - it worked as they managed to get a majority with 36% of the vote.
They might not be my sort of people, but I respect they way they're doing their job. Carry on as you were Cameron D and Osborne G.
Problem is, they will not, not without the Lib Dems to keep some sort of leverage on them.
Yes instead of the LibDems keeping their actions more moderate the opposite pressure will come from the swivel eyed loons on the right of their party.
Peter Bone looked very dangerous before now it is very frightening for a lot of poor people.
The Libdems now almost cease to exist now as a credible political force. After five years in an effective coalition the LibDems couldn't resist gloating and trying to rock the boat. Much of their support has now gone over to the Tories because of this.
