Positives From Council Results?

My positives last night were: the failure of Lib Dems to resurrect; Labour melting down; Tories effectively being given a mandate to get tough with the EU.
(Trouble is - my experience has repeatedly proved that Tories are the worst promise-breakers of 'em all.)
If May goes for the EU jugular then the Tories will be re-elected in 2022.
Another vital factor is boundaries. 
Allowing that FPTP is fair (?) the Tories are regularly under-represented against Labour by 30 seats per average General Election.
Voting for legitimate boundary changes to rectify the discrepancy was not possible with a small majority - some Tories would have seen their seats disappearing and voted against.
With a large majority - no problem - and more seats for Tories in 2027.
With a big majority down the line virtually guaranteed.

Labour never to rule again?
