Corbyn got one of the highest vote counts Labour has ever had

Can you please tell more about this?

Basically what it sounds like.

13M voted for Corbyn in 2017, more votes than Labour had received in the previous 20 years. This was after years of false commie and antisemite accusations from media, armed forces chief, every other Labour MP, etc.

His becoming leader of the party caused a jump in vote share not seen for 80 years. People really like the guy, in droves. If we had a proportional vote system, a Labour-led coalition would all but certainly have been the government.
