    My heart hurts thinking about how things could have gone were he allowed to become PM.

      To be clear the only conspiracy against him was caused by people disagreeing with his policies, as with any politician.

      People like to claim that he ever had a chance at becoming prime minister but the truth is he never did. His policies are too divisive his views too unapologetic. He was never good at playing the game, and you have to be good at playing the game, no matter how much contempt for it you may have.

          Meaning only that under our political system that currently exists Corbin was able to piss everyone off, that’s not exactly a vote in the favour of Corbin.
