You need to look at the raw numbers though. Massive massive gains to Labour. The UK map is distorted as although it shows lots of blue, the densely populated key cities have gone red including London.

It's what? 32 seats - hardly massive gains. During the Blair years, every Tory leader who lost to him - Hague, Duncan-Smith, Howard, resigned because they didn't win - even if they gained more seats than they had before the election. Gordon Brown resigned when he didn't win in 2010, despite there being a hung parliament. But again the normal rules of politics don't seem to apply to Corbyn, especially when he has so many supporters in the TV industry lol.
 
Yes perfect result for corbyn. He shows he is electable but doesn't actually need to put his magic manifesto into practice
 
As a Unionist supporting NI person it saddens me that the DUP may have the power to swing this. They are simply awful. Bad enough they have the majority vote here never mind having direct effect on Westminster too :(
 
She had to call another election I think to secure a mandate because of the Liberals in the Lords and the Election in 2020 coming close to the end of negotiations, and having to go back to parliament with the deal.
Hard to compete with someone offering so many goodies on the other side, and having such a weak offering of more of the same or unexplained worse not helping.

Good things to come out of this though Scotland a little more secure going forward well maybe. Brexit for me though is dead even though I supported it. We will either be half in of half out unable to trade with the world as still in the customs union, and reliant on the EU making trade deals which they haven't done much of in 40 odd years.

Probably better for country now that we have a parliamentary vote and overturn Article 50 and perhaps negotiate free movement or immigration controls differently with EU again where Cameron failed, and then later have another election after fixed term.

What a mess. I think the TV media of all channels I think they held the agenda to their own motives and have done so in elections both here and abroad forming public opinion

No, it shows he can sucker in people... most certainly not electable.

Why do you say that? He has been extremely successful, and done far better than Theresa May. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't mean that he hasn't genuinely won people's votes.

He's certainly a lot more trustworthy than May.

Haven't seen a single Labour flag or banner in Aberconwy, all Con or Plaid yet she closed the gap from a 4000 vote deficit last election to 600 this time. Still didn't win like, which is a shame as I was hoping I would have a claim to fame for tinder matching with an MP a couple of years back :(

No it's 13.6m votes to Tory and 12.8m to labour. That is a huge swing in direct public support and disenfranchised Tory voters.
 
tory voters still by and large disillusional about the reason they lost this time. TM lost you so many votes, far to right wing, far to authoritarian. A crazy power grabbing wannabe dictator and Tories paid for it.
