If last nights result had been a general election, then even with the support of the DUP, the Tories would have been about thirteen seats short!
They would still be the largest party though, so they would have to try to go into coalition with the Lib Dems again...Whether the Lib Dems would be up for that again (with DUP)
...That would result in a stalemate!
..The emphasis would then be put on Labour to put together a lefty coalition of parties....Far more palatable IMO!

The ruling party generally don't do that well in local elections and bi-elections, they're not really a pointer to what would happen in a general election.
Much higher turnout in a General Election as well.
Labour want to win the next election they need a different leader.

Only Tories and Blairites (same thing) want that.
