Whilst it was a very, very good performance by the Labour Party yesterday, it appears that many, many of their supporters and activists are struggling to come to terms with the fact that they actually didn't win the election. They performed as well as they did under Brown in 2010.
As I said though, excellent performance.
Same old story for us. Vote labour, get Tory. When will we wake up?
It was a good performance as he beat the total seats won that Brown managed in 2010 and Miliband in 2015, and better still as expectations were so egregious seven weeks ago.
I agree. It's the members, supporters and activists who are thoroughly shocked that Labour have not won that perplex me.Quote:

A few that are disappointed, but the huge majority that are pleased with the huge progress made and also the fact that there is now a genuine left wing alternative to the tories.Quote:

If there were another election next week, I reckon Corbyn would win it.

then the campaigns moved on a few weeks and he stood out like a knight in shining armour, he really did rise above the others and become a leader
for me it was a amazing transformation
In a world where principles are at a premium, someone who has principles (whether you agree with them or not) and fights for what he believes in (whether you agree with him or not) I'm glad he has come out with the credit he deserves.Quote:
