Corbyn's done well... simply by surviving long enough to see all this happening. His position is rather strong now, compared to May and the Tories. Corbyn has managed to keep the Labour Party together, no mean feat; as the Tories pull apart. If Boris Johnson become leader and then PM, where's is his political mandate from the people? Labour's demands for a General Election will be greatly enhanced. Boris Johnson is a media darling and charismatic, but 'unstable.' The contrast between a raving demagogue and Corbyn is going to be a ingteresting watch. Has Brexit so damaged the Tories that even with Boris leading them, they're heading for history's political dustbin? Will the Tories even split because the prospect of Boris Johnson leading them is just too much to bear? Johnson's greatest weakness is that the very 'qualities' that make him successful in the media, are the same ones that make him a bad politician; that is, he's a compulsive 'storyteller' and liar, virtually nothing that comes out of his mouth is really 'true' but merely a 'story' a fiction, which Corbyn can exploit to his advantage.
