All other issues such as Corbyn, antisemitism, terrorist sympathiser, crashing the economy, were secondary to Brexit. I never understood why Labour had to have a second referendum if Labour negotiated a good and credible deal. If it was a good and credible deal then make that deal. No need to have a second referendum. That policy was just to appease the Remainers.
Most people do not think Boris was a better leader than Corbyn, some knew he was actually worse but they wanted Brexit done. A clown could have led the Tories and would still have won. In fact he did.
The polling completely disputes that. Far more people did see Johnson as a better leader than Corbyn. I am not saying that is right or wrong, but that is the data we have.
The polling was on the political parties and the main reason the Tories won was Brexit “being done”. If it was on leaders then Corbyn may have just won but it is not.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
