I remember the polls saying people thought Corbyn was more in touch with the british people, but thought Johnson would be a better PM. Absolute Stockholm syndrome mindset.
I remember watching one of the debates and I instantly realized, just a few minutes in, that Corybn would lose. The most important indicator of how well someone will do is by how "presidential" they seem to people. No matter how good your policy is, how much you empathize with and clearly fight for working people, they will jump at the person that can dominate the stage and impose themselves on the people around them. For whatever reason people need that to feel secure or something I guess.
I knew he would lose, but I thought it would be a hung parliament, not one of the worst defeats any party returned in history. I guess the exception is Trump for the presidential thing.
