I'm a teeny tiny bit disappointed because for a second there I dared to dream that Britain could elect a Left government that would stem the neoliberalism tide (unlike Syriza which promptly betrayed its constituency and itself).
But as you say, baby steps, and in the right direction, so can't complain.
Rather buoyed by the reaction to Mrs. May's decision to utilise a dodgy group of nutters to make a government. Many seem to see the hypocrisy in it. (Possibly a bit harsh, I dunno much about the DUP but what I've heard ain't exactly encouraging).
Cheers!
IKEM.
There's hope on both sides of the coin. The May government depends on a party that can pull together, but is fundamentally split still over Europe and there was a lot of discomfort with how the election was run. They will need a tight whip in the House of Commons to get business done and they won't be able to do lots of things that were in the manifesto based on the hope that they'd have a big majority.
On the other hand, the Labour party is greatly buoyed by the result. Many believed the lie that nobody would vote for Corbyn. Now that they've seen millions voting that way, they will be encouraged to do so too. People like to do what other people are doing.
The hard work starts here.
