But we can use these comparisons to paint everyone as crappy, thanks to FPTP. Corbyn has a massive popular backing by the end, massively exceeded expectations and was campaigning against a Tory party who oversaw 7 years of austerity and he ended up with a whopping four seats more than Brown did in 2010, before any Tory Austerity (TM). FPTP sort of fucks these numbers a bit, as evidenced by the fact that both the Tories *and* Labour got a higher voteshare this year than Labour did in 2005 with their decent majority.
