      I think @HeerJeet you may want to revise your entire ahistorical triumphalism.https://twitter.com/esstheman/status/873002915828346880 …

      You realize that Labour won two elections after 1997, narrowly lost the election in 2010, and are 60 seats down, best case scenario tonight.

      Vote share looks very good compared even to previous years. Seat count is not everything. Is Corbyn threatening to the centre left?

      Seat count is actually everything in a Parliamentary system.

      I'm pretty sure Labour is very happy with tonights results and the Tories are very unhappy.

      Totally right and fair but that's because folks expected it to be a shadow of its recent elections' strengths. Def outperformed expectations

      Also, it's outperforming expectations because youth seem to be voting at around 78% (same as seniors). That bodes well, no?

          It's a very good thing if it turns out to be sustainable, which is far from a given. Still need to be more competitive in rural areas.

          By that criteria, McGovern's performance in Nov. 1972 was a triumph: did well with young, party outperformed expectations in Congress, etc.

          It's early days yet. Corbyn might actually end up prime minister. Seems less than 50% but plausible.
