If I had a pound for every time the Labour party entered office with a majority while winning less votes than in the crushing defeat it got in the election before, I’d have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
97?
I remember the near euphoria of people I knew after the election in May 97.
To which I responded, "Calm down. I felt that way in 92, too. And since then I've had 4 1/2 years of Clintonian mediocrity."
you have an odd system. But every 25 years or so, it releases an absolute banger.
And although we didn't win a majority, we formed an administration in Feb 1974 winning fewer votes than in 1970, and won a majority in Oct 1974 winning fewer votes than in February.
