He said: “Labour has lost this election as badly as Gordon Brown did in 2010.”
And yet Labour supporters are cock-a-hoop and Corbyn is demanding to be PM.
Odd business, this democracy lark.

He lost from being in power.. Corbyn lost from being a dead man walking about 7 weeks ago.. it is quite remarkable how he has managed this. ALL the cards were in the Tory party favour, they called the election when they thought they couldn't possibly lose, if it wasn't for the Scots they would have lostQuote:

Labour did better than expected and the Tores worse, but Labour still lost and is far from power. I don;t beleive it's "one last push". I believe this is the high tide of Corbynism in the country and in the long run his relative success or failure only extends the period under which the party is unelectable.
