…and note that it came out of nowhere. I was expecting the Tories to lose seats overall, honestly. I certainly wasn’t expecting to see three of the four other major parties (Labour, Liberal Democrats, and UKIP) to be suddenly bereft of leadership. I’d feel bad about getting last night’s results wrong, except that everybody else did, too.

PS: Mind you, a ‘Conservative’ in the UK is like a Democrat here. Albeit one being hunted out to extinction.
