You could replace the "dumb" description with "buffoon" SCO because that was a common enough word used to describe Johnson throughout England. All that he and his fascist party did was provide that one soundbite - "Get Brexit Done". It was direct, robotic and to the point because a lotta the population in England were obsessed with and favoured Brexit. As you say, and has been often said throughout this OP - Corbyn "sat on the fence" and dithered instead of "choosing a side" and, more importantly, READING THEIR POLITICAL SITUATION IN ENGLAND PROPERLY. Also why did the fool walk into that election trap and agree to having a Xmas election and then comment, "I've been assured there will be no hard Brexit"????? Somebody explain that to me because I thought he was an absolute idiot to concede to a Xmas GE!!!!???? The SNP wanted that election because they had a solid plan and it was successful!!!! In Scotland, the SNP similarly advertised a direct decisive message to a population that they knew intimately in a political sense - Stop Brexit, stop Johnson (despised in Scotland!!!) and vote SNP if you want independence for Scotland - it was a clear message and mandate and it attained a landslide victory with only a handful of MPs, all Tory, who are left in Scotland to preach to a Scot population about their pro Brexit vision - none of the other elected MPs, obviously incl SNP, want Brexit!! These remaining Tory MPs are now being "terrorised" as I speak - they are living in the wrong country with a different political philosophy and they've been shocked by this landslide victory! I wasn't - I predicted it (49 seats said I and missed it by 1 seat!) and expected Johnson's win as well due to many of the reasons previously debated in this OP!
