They didn't, they just said that they would think "the Democrats would be studying these results closely". I'd agree with that part, especially since others have noted that so many were thinking this was going to be a very close election. What Corbyn was selling could very well be put in tangent with some of the same pitches from the more far leaning Dems such as Warren and Sanders.

Probably the hazards of running on a hard socialist platform when the people who go to vote are not keen on the idea. I doubt Bernie or Warren pivot after these results though. Also the perils of taking your past supporters for granted and ignoring their concerns. But those should be lessons from 2016 for the US. I have a few other harsh lessons but don’t wish to be suspended from the forum.
On the PG side.
1) Don’t take anything for granted.
2) You need to have a strong ground game.
3) Don’t believe you are the smartest person in the game.
4) Past performance doesn’t guarantee future success.

EU Withdrawal Agreement being debated in Parliament HofC right now. The two opposition parties are shattered.
Brexit is neigh.

And it's passed. Excuse a moment while I pour one out for potential end of the United Kingdom.

What a monumental and completely unnecessary self-sabotage. I still kind of can't believe this is happening.
I’ll go back to The Only Band That Matters:
They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
Of the respected gentlemen
They say it would be wine an' roses
If England were for Englishmen again . . . .
So leave me now the moon is up
But remember all the tales I tell
The memories that you have dredged up
Are on letters forwarded from hell
The streets were by now deserted
The gangs had trudged off home
The lights clicked off in the bedsits
An' old England was all alone.
Not with a bang, but a whimper:

Unless something strange happens in the House of Lords, or Meghan Markle brings down the Empire, Brexit will be the law in the UK.
That was a fun three years.
I'm going over for a personal inspection next month...maybe I can pick up some assets at a discount...how big is Big Ben?
I know this is a little late, but... huh? The polling was actually remarkably accurate. For example:

Translating the raw percentages into the number of seats is challenging, especially with multiple viable parties, but the attempts were mostly close. Most of the commentary I saw leading up to the election was that the Tories were clearly leading, just with an added "ya never know" caveat.
