					<description><![CDATA[The UK had a General Election yesterday, and progressives lost. The Conservative Party won a historic majority – much larger than almost any pundit predicted – while the Labour Party’s vote collapsed, and the Liberal Democrats failed to break through (they even lost their leader, Jo Swinson, in the surprise result of the night).
