Lets just reflect on why this election was called.
An election which will probably go down as the biggest failure that a party has ever made.To be so far ahead in the polls and to throw it all away by incompetance on a grand scale beggars belief.
Theresa May already had a majority and had stated several times there would be no election because
"What Britain needs is a period of stability in the lead up to Brexit"
Theresa May started her campaign on the basis of the "Strong and Stable" mantra which was quickly ridiculed and in a lot of cases, maybe not dropped altogether, but used a lot less than at the start.
David Cameron started all this with an ill thought out referendum, ill thought out because he was vain enough to think that he could win the vote, even telling EU leaders "Dont worry I can swing this". Ill thought out because he ran the referendum on a one vote can win it, no doubt because he thought he could win it by a few votes. The referendum a very important vote for the UK should have been on a 60% min to win it, that way you couldnt get a 50-50 split. Cameron lost the vote and split the country.
He then did the thing that he said he wouldn't and resigned.
Strong and Stable ..... Nope .... Weak and Wobbly
So back to Theresa May who campaigned to remain but now says shes the strongest leader to negotiate Brexit. Theresa May who didn't need to call an election as she already had a majority but called one after saying that she wouldn't. She then took her campaign around the country only visiting very protected sites where the audience was vetted to make sure there was no surprise or hostile questions. She also refuse to get involved in TV debates making herself look very weak. The u turn to have an election wasnt a Brave decision as some might suggest It was a vain gamble based on the polls at that time. We do not need a leader that takes vain gambles.
Strong and Stable ..... Nope .... Weak and Wobbly
Theresa May has gambled on getting a majority of over 100 seats and ended up in a worse situation. That would be OK if it just affected her but it doesnt it affects our position in the Brexit negotiations.
Theresa May is anything but Strong and Stable ..... Definately .... Weak and Wobbly and should resign.
Mean while Corbyn spoke to everyone, dealt with difficult questions and had crowds of thousands turn up to hear him speak whereever he was. He mobilised the young to vote for him and after two years of vilification and leadership challeges, Jeremy Corbyn has come through it all with dignity his tenacity is the mark of a real leader. He stood firm after a vote of no confidence and rode the waves of calls for his resignation. Whereas at the 1st sign of trouble Cameron resigned .... that is not a real leader.
One thing that has come out of this Jeremy Corbyn has shown himself to be a real leader that can enthuse thousands.
The young may have changed history.
