Election 2010: Rockers Respond

Members of The King Blues, Gallows, The Ghost Of A Thousand and Lostprophets give their verdict on Election 2010.

After a lot of talk, a variety of opinions and a long night of raised fists it is over, the Election is finished.

Not exactly a happy ending for many and thus frustration has been simmering on Twitter all day. Here are a selection of comments pulled from the rock music community. More will be added as we find them...

"Fuck the erection."

"Back from America after 8 weeks to a country in political turmoil. At least the Nazi BNP failed to return one MP from a possible 300!!"

"The saddest thing about this election so far isnt the poll probs or the impending Tory victory its that so far the BNP has over 200000 votes."

"The general election... what a load of fucking bollocks!"

"What a fucking shambles the democratic system is, still it makes for good TV."
