Protesting too much. The Tories were too too shit to risk running government again but you've got to keep up appearances and that. -

Labour's electoral strategy was spot on even though in football terms it didn't win many friends. Knowing through their own polling that the Tories vote would crater they spread their resources enough to capture as many seats as possible, figuring that all they had to do was to hold their vote up or for it to go up slightly and let Reform do the rest.

I think politics is more ruthless these days. Take Harold Wilson for instance. He swanned back into Downing St 4 years after defeat. That would never happen these days. If UK politics in 1970 was like it is today, he would have stood down as Labour leader the following morning.

This election is a bizarro combination of 1997, 2001 and 1983.
