Thinking about it, what is Labours realistic chances of competing at another GE?? DO they need SNP to die off?
THey are calling it a massive victory for Labour when I think its more a case they hughely exceeded expectation but they are no better off than 2010..
Brown resigned after this disaster whereas Corbyn is hailed after a Victory..
Funny how perception changes really isn't it.
I think the result will improve their chances in the next GE, anyone who thought they had not got a chance and voted for another party may now vote for them or those that didn't bother for the same reasons might like me this time vote for the first time in years.

The worst Tory election campaign in living memory and Corbyn is still over 60 seats from a working majority. That's the reality.
True. But with as with many things perception is important. According to the percecieved narrative this election was going to be almost a coronation for May with a majority of up to 150. Jezza was going to get trounced (and then probably replaced as leader on the back of it). But this didnt happen. If things break down with the DUP and we're forced into another election things might be a bit closer as people see that jezza isnt quite the lame duck the press has been making him out to be.
Of course the conservative will probably pull their socks up and make a better fist of any coming election campaign though.

Prime Minister Theresa May has been warned she faces a leadership challenge on Monday unless she sacks her two closest advisers, the BBC understands.
One senior Tory said Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill were responsible for "the worst manifesto in history".
Sacking them was a "litmus test" for Mrs May to show she was willing to change after the election, they added.
Mrs May has said she intends to stay as prime minister despite failing to win a Conservative majority in the election.
The Tories needed 326 seats to win but fell short by eight. The DUP won 10.
She is expected to finalise her team of ministers later as she seeks to lead a government with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party.
So who's going to 'advise' her now - Mickey Mouse and Pluto?
...and the second one's gone.
I rarely watch question time but the latest ones a cracker they even predicate she would get rid of them (i mean they would resign) -
