Think it's all going well then n111ck? Strong and stable enough?

Already said that BoJo should be wheeled in - if Corbyn can only gain 30 seats with apparently the worst Tory pm, campaign and manifesto ever then clearly he will always be runner up.

Corbyn is like when the fat kid comes second on sports day - pat on the head but still lost.

The irony being that the kid in first place suffered injuries of unknown severity, completely failed to beat the team personal best despite telling everyone she would, and is now looking like a bit of a dick.

Maybe she'll pull through. Or maybe this is the end? But at least the kid in second place knows he'll run again. Possibly quite soon.

Yep.

And people pinning the blame on Labour, Corbyn or young voters need to quit it. Only ones to blame are Theresa May and her party.

On the other hand, May lost seats and an apparently unassailable majority to a very left-wing (an unpopular position in the UK) Labour leader who doesn't even have proper support from his own party, has said and done very questionable things regarding terrorism, has directly campaigned against the UK in the past, appointed wildly unpopular and incompetent people to key positions after most of the senior politicians in the party resigned rather than work for him, was savagely pilloried in the media (even more than he deserved) and was generally regarded as an unelectable liability. And May still lost her majority to him, leading the Conservative party to beat the Labour party by only 2% of the votes.

Lord Buckethead put in a better showing than either of them.

I think Tim Farron summed it up well:
"She called this election expecting a coronation, and took each and every one of us for granted in the most cynical way possible."
