    Well he lost two elections with more voter then Keith won one.

    But he seems unable to accept he only won. Because more people opposed hi opponents then him. Trying gain from those voters rather then the ones refusing to vote for him. Is just lazy.

    Not to mention a desperate attempt to ignore democracy. And much of his own party. His current anti migraint negativity. And disability discrimination. Dose not have a strong following in his party members.

    • Corbyn was also trying to navigate Brexit for those two elections and anything less than a full-throated insistence on parroting “Brexit means Brexit” turned the pro-Brexit crowd away, while the anti-Brexit crowd turned away in advance because he was in favour of it. He bottled it before that second election he lost and tried to get the anti-Brexit crowd back on board and just alienated the pro-Brexit crowd

        Yes and know. I remember many rejecting Corbyn for not ignoring Brexit. The party members were very split over the subject.

        I don’t think there was a way to win it. The remainers knew it was electoral suicide to ignore Brexit, but would attack him until he moved to that position.

        • I agree, there probably wasn’t really a winning move for him, but he still panicked after the European elections that year and decided to push the idea of a second referendum more and that definitely killed whatever chance he had in that last election
