 Spot on.  Labour did not get a higher vote share, the Conservative party was split in two after a disasterous time in power.

 I keep seeing Labour supporters thrilled, i mean it’s great they won, but the Americans who say this means the democrats will win don’t seem to be paying attention to what really happened. This was the case of a center-right party messing up so much that their vote split and they were punished.
