Tony Blair and the Labour Party: 100 fewer seats. Tony Blair gave a concillatory speech, more or less acknowledging his unpopularity amongst the British public.

The Conservative / Tory Party: Still considered a joke, nobody thought Howard and company had a chance in this election, looking ahead to post-Blair disappointment where they may not be able to compete against Blair’s successor — Gordon Brown.

The Liberal Democrat Party: Hoped to gain a number of seats from disaffected Labour voters, picked up a fairly minor and disappointing number.

That weird Scottish Party: I haven’t seen the results, but I imagine the C-SPAN coverage of the “Prime Minister Answers Questions” will still show this odd character or two lobbying Blair for the glory of Scotland… everyone else in the room rolling their eyes.

Congratulations to everyone! You all lost!

And that’s what Democratic Elections are all about: determining winners through attrition rates.
