"Winning the argument" is more important than winning the election.

What these twats don't seem to understand is: by not getting enough votes in the right places to win the election they have actually lost the argument.

One of the definitions of winning is 'coming out on top'. Having enough MPs to be the Party of Opposition (or worse in the case of the Greens with their count-on-your-fingers number of MPs) cannot be described as 'coming out on top' and certainly isn't in the same building as 'winning'.
