It's tricky isn't it. What would an accurate counterfactual be?
Johnson wasn't actually that popular. If Labour had had someone other than Corbyn, would it have been such a landslide? Or did the despair over Brexit push a lot of people into buying "get Brexit done", to the point that it would have largely been the same result?
Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but I don't think a Starmer government will have the same putrid stench and Benny Hill-esque haplessness. I'm sure there will be issues. I'm sure that the disenfranchised brexit/reform/etc. voters will still be ignored and bitter. But as long as it's not the same absolute fucking joke we have now, I think the majority of voters will give them the benefit of the doubt.
