B1, plenty of people voted Labour knowing that Corbyn was never going to become PM, because Labour were never going to win the election - in a large part because of Corbyn (personal approval rating consistently around -40%); the objective was to limit the size of the Tory majority.
I know you get it, but for some this is apparently way too complicated to absorb.
Exactly I cited Labour in the hope it would hobble the Tories majority not because I wanted a Corbyn led Labour government sadly ‘get Brexit done’ was cat nip for some (really trying hard not to name call).
