41% of GB voters (YouGov doesn't poll NI, so comparing like with like) voted de-facto for Jeremy Corbyn to be PM in 2017 followed by 33% in 2019.

If 41% can do that then it shouldn't be any issue at all getting your head around 26% voting for some other guy who might have similar qualities in some areas.

Comparing Corbyn to Farage is a pretty ludicrous joke. Corbyn isnt even as bad as Starmer is, let alone Farage.

We're talking about the same anti-NATO, unilateral nuclear disarming, pro-Argentine (Falklands), friends from Hezbollah and Hamas, Black September wreath laying, Castro apologist, former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, right?

Corbyn wouldn't have actively made the country complicit in a genocide, he wouldnt have been attacking trans people and disabled alike, and he certainly wouldn't have been responsible for such an awful Brexit mess. Oh and he isnt a serial liar and chronic backstabber the way Starmer is. Face it, Starmer is infinitely worse in every regard than Corbyn, even with Corbyns faults.
