If they thought this was coming, is it possible they just wanted him as a sacrifice? (talking about the 2nd one here)

Plurality of seats. And yes that's what I meant.

You won fair and square. If I wanted to offer a less extreme bet I could have.

In post 435, imaginality wrote:Kinda pipe dreaming here, probably, but what if Corbyn offers to head a national unity government, with ministers from all parties, and with the specific aim of negotiating a soft Brexit (I.e. negotiate the best deal that maintains single market access), with a guarantee that there'll be a new general election in 2019 after the deal is agreed?

He has an openness to his approach that makes me think he could make that work, unlike May. And if an arrangement like that was agreed on, it would give UK a good platform for negotiations with the EU.

I wonder if any/enough pro-Remain Tory MPs would consider that option. Cos the alternative of the Tories trying to push for a harder Brexit with DUP support seems clearly less stable.
That's a terrible plan long term.
No one will be happy after Brexit. It's going to suck no matter who negotiates it, and it's best to hang that around the conservatives necks instead of taking all the crap for it when you didn't even want it in the first place.
That's a very politically minded move. If you feel you are just actually capable of getting a better deal and care about the country, you might want to head it up.

I'm used to Canada where multiple time zones mean rolling results. Waiting it is.
