of course protest is part of the democratic process. But please, in seriousness, read some of the posts above, and spot the difference between protesting to influence the decisions of those in government and protesting to remove such people regardless of the decisions they make.

That is my point.

Sorry mate, it will be seen to be minority. When I was a teenager, most of us were politically active and motivated. I put it to you that most people under the age of 35 are not the socialists you think they are. Labour and Conservative are two sides of the same coin to them. My own lads, in their late '20s now would only be able to separate the two parties by different policies, rather than appealing to different sections of society.

Tell you what, when I was a kid, I had a poster on my wall with a nuclear mushroom and the phrase "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?" Methinks that could apply...

Anyway, whilst nobody voted for this outcome, the system is that such an outcome is a possible consequence of an election, always has been. Nobody actually voted for the last LibLab pact either, but the Liberals are useful to either side as they lack principles.
