A Tory majority was always on the cards, the question is whether it's a landslide that results in the front-benchers becoming dictators of our future, or whether it's only a slim majority and will result in opposition from within the Tory party allowing the worst things over the next 5 years to be moderated by everyone else.
It's a straight choice between having an opposition or not.
We can hope it's more than that, but the worthwhile fight is just for meaningful opposition.
