The only moral victory really is that even Corbyn isn't so stupid that under the right circumstances he couldn't put up a decent showing.

I suppose Labour has that.
There is a broader question here though. Over three elections, in 2010, 2015 and 2017, the Conservatives have twice failed to gain a majority and only once managed to squeeze very narrowly over the line. This is against a Labour Party held responsible for war and economic collapse, and then a Labour Party led by a leftie and which has been a laughing stock on here for the last few years.

Those three results over seven years suggest a distinct lack of appetite for the Conservatives and for austerity.
