At least Corbyn had "one sentence soundbites", that's quite a few words more than our strong and stable leader could manage .

How condescending is that about "young people" - their opinions, no matter how they are formed and what they are, are just as valid as yours and mine.

As for your third point, we're not going to be in a position to know the answer to your question for some time it seems because the Government which was so eager to have an unnecessary election back in April are now too frit (to quote Maggie Thatcher) to have another one.
Oh come off it, 'condescending' ? Moi ?

Labour themselves have boasted how they got their message across in short, sharp messages on facebook, what'sthingy, etc, and that's when a lot of kids started engaging in the election - the Tories missed a trick, but then again they were completely and utterly inept.
But back to my original point - the relative successes and failures of the two parties in this election are measured in comparisons with the previous one. The Tories actually increased the number of votes received from 11 million at the last election to 13.7 million this time - that's an increase of 2.7 million people who voted for the Tories this time around who didn't 2 years ago.

My hunch is Corbyn has reached his zenith, May her nadir..
