In little less than a year, Jeremy Corbyn went from a -40 per cent net favourability rating against Theresa May’s +35, and from a political joke to nearly becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain.

His phenomenal and unexpected rise from near obscurity and oblivion to stardom and almost the ultimate success reflects badly on everyone involved in this sordid and sorry saga: Theresa May and the Tories for their policy direction and lacklustre campaign, the Labour Party for warming up to a malicious dinosaur like Corbyn, and a great chunk of the British voting public for supporting the man.
