The Labour Party that won 33% of an election that had an almost record-low turnout. lmao.
Yeah, the big difference wasn't people voting more for Labour, but that there was a splinter party and the press was less than completely glowing towards the tories. Also that SNP decided to spontaneously combust.
More people voted for Labour in 2019, an election that I've been told was the worst election ever by very serious Blairites. And even with the lower turnout they only gained 1.5% of the popular vote. They are an exceptionally weak majority party and have already pissed away all the good will they could have had pushing any good policy.
We can only ever expect the managerial class to double-down on mediocrity.
