Still Brexit ay?!?! I hope it was worth it!
Maybe don’t let a complete no hoper lead the opposition into two elections next time, eh?
I'm no fan of Jeremy Corbyn but to call someone who got 40% of the popular vote (against 42.4% for the Tories) in 2017 a no-hoper is stretching it a bit. Labour won 30% of the seats in parliament against 37% for the Tories.
The 2019 election was won on the lies of the easiest Brexit deal ever, the country was tired of the stalemate in parliament over Brexit and just wanted it done, hence the landslide. Magic beans promised to everyone - cows traded.
As someone who was out on the doors in both 2017 and 2019 it was ridiculously obvious that Corbyn would never be prime minister - he was absolutely detested in the places you need votes to win a majority.
In 2017 he was 64 seats off a majority, regardless of vote percentages underpinned by massive upticks in safe seats, student towns and Tory majorities being squeezed by conservative voters being pissed off by May that isn’t anywhere near close, despite being up against the worst conservative prime ministerial election campaign ever seen. 2019 we all know about, absolutely obliterated.
He was a no hoper, he ended every election campaign worse than he started off. Despite all this, Labour kept sending him out and he was even allowed to bumble on for months after
