The Tory plan to win the election was for it to be a presidential contest, one centred on personalities rather than policies. Mr Corbyn unquestionably has his flaws. Many see him as a fluke, a fringe candidate who stole the Labour leadership while the rest of his party was asleep. Most pundits think the voters will repudiate Mr Corbyn’s Labour party. But Mr Corbyn has shown that the party might be the start of something big rather than the last gasp of something small.
