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.
On my good days I hope that Labour's electoral performance was to a large extent a rather misguided protest vote against Brexit and that it's a trick they're unlikely to be able to pull off twice. Most of those voting Labour either didn't know or deliberately ignored Labour's manifesto position on Brexit in order to get at the tories.

On my bad days I wonder if we might actually end up with a Corbyn government.
