Those following the election in the U.K. this week will know that Prime Minister David Cameron and the Conservative Party won a decisive majority in Parliament, leading singer Lily Allen to contemplate which fascist regimes she’d prefer to live under than Tory-led Britain.
At least Allen confined her stupendous ignorance to a tweet. Others have decided to riot in the streets of London to express their unhappiness with the outcome of the election, which had an impressive turnout of 66 percent.

@exjon @fringeaggressor @deb123giraffe One man, one vote = Democracy. Violent mob action = Social justice.

@iowahawkblog Been there, these people are deranged. I ask them do you vote and they reply voting isn't democracy. Fucking commies.

Again, progressivism is the toddler mentality manifested as politics. When they don't get what they want, there's a tantrum. #LondonRiots

Same thing will be happening here on Nov. 9th, 2016 if one of the elderly commie Dems doesn't win. #LondonRiots

We all knew rules of election before #GE15. Same rules as every other election. If you are rioting then you are an idiot. #londonriots

Catching up on post-election news. In 2010 (my own views aside) I felt the country got the govt it wanted; don't feel that about 2015.

That said, people holding violent protests, defacing monuments and otherwise failing to respect result need intensive lessons in democracy.
