What is strange is your dismissal of the leadership's role in party performance.
Corbyn is a lame duck with a sordid past, his front bench is a motley crew of incompetence sprinkled by the occasional bigot and as has been established Corbyn rules the roost and controls the campaign.
His leadership resulted in a heavily flawed campaign; laying out a financially ruinous manifesto filled with obviously impossible promises, allowing imbeciles like abbot run thier mouths in public, refusing to even lie about his unwillingness to use nukes for appearances sake.
With Corbyn's strategic brilliance his party was destined for irrelevance were it not from May's intervention.
Every reason people ever believed Labour was destined to be crushed can be traced back to corbyn and every reason he wasn't can be traced to the actions of, or comparison to, his opponent.
He didnt succeed on his merits, he was buoyed by May's failure and a rush for "anyone else". Any assertion otherwise is the fantasy here.
