Liberal Democrats lasted more rounds than expected.

Labour thought they could show their Ace card but Diane Abbott didn't way up Labour's hand well and they were left a few cards short of a Royal flush.

To conclude, wasn't much money left in the winning pot, Labour borrowed it to pay for everyone's lunch. In the end, no one won anything huge outright.
But she was expected to win by a landslide according to the pollsters and those close to her and even many of the public thought that as well.

Taking any biased politics out of it she is right in the brown stuff as once voters get that perception its very hard to shift as you know but then if they get rid of her then a even worse scenario will face them when they come before the electorate again.
