A bit unfair, this election should not even have had Labour in the running to win it, it is rare any party after losing an election can come back in one go,
It has only happened once since the war,Labour losing power in 1970 then returning,albeit just, in 1974.

However the only person who has in fact failed to win a comfortable majority in an election that should have been a walkover to do so, is David Cameron in 2010, with in total disarray the Labour govt; 13 years in power and a disastrous elecrion campaign too for them.
Yet Cameron failed to even come close to an overall majority.
