like, what stunning political insight is to be gained here?

Well, we find the most successful route to power is to have your opponents control government for fourteen years, so that by then people are so absolutely sick of them that you win by virtue of being the only other option to hand. Also use the press to punish your left flank. Policy? What's that?

Also, have the luck of operating within a FPTP system and have the other side splitting their vote between two parties.

Huh, didn't know Reform split the vote hard enough to cost that many seats to the tories. A 12-point swing to one party is HUGE.
