Exactly. The fact that their vote share has more or less stayed the same but they've now got unchallenged power to do as they please is just wrong. Given how many people will have voted tory for the first (and probably last) time just to "get brexit done" is interesting as it shows an almost equal number of previously tory voters abandoning them presumably due to the lies and deceit and a desire not to brexit. I think even if the tories don't get caught out as liars and the brexit promise exploding dramatically in their face (our faces), then they'll struggle to win the defectors back and struggle to retain the new tory voters.
In short I believe they haven't "won" the election, ineffective and indecisive opposition has gift wrapped it for them. But I also think that they'll really struggle at the next election, which sadly is now a long way off.
