    Just as bad in the UK. Corbyn can’t get elected, Starmer can. Everyone hates Starmer because he isn’t Corbyn. Not appreciating the fact he isn’t Johnson/May/Lettuce.

      Corbyn has no problem getting elected. His problem was that Labour refused to support him as party leader and threww him under the bus

        Quite possibly oversimplifying things. I think a major factor was the media being against him and having no firm Brexit policy. Either way, like with Blair, you need the media on your side.
