weird for Labour supporters to be celebrating so gleefully what is ultimately a defeat (assuming they cannot form a minority government) and one that will see continued Tory rule for the forseable.
Since the only reason the election was called was because May assumed they would walk it with a huge majority, a Labour performance where they have confounded the critics must be seen as a good result... he has won more votes than Blair did when he won 2 elections.Originally Posted by Monty92

Of course it was a good result relative to expectations, but they lost
The point of politics is to gain power.
Well, yes. Amid all the glee, there must be the sneaking realisation that this is pretty much as good as it can get for them.

If you have to lose, a narrow, battling defeat is better than the far heavier, humiliating one people may have expected.
That's not difficult to grasp, is it. Except if you're Wenger, I suppose
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
And May won more votes than Cameron in 2015. That's kind of irrelevant, though.

I warned you months and months ago that a mobilisation of the youth vote is not out of the question. You clearly don't spend enough time on Facebook
Which is what we've been telling Corbyn supporters for two years and they didn't believe us
Exactly. This is as good as it can get and they still lost. That must be a sobering thought for any Labour supporter, I'd have thought.
