Is he really that unpopular? or is that what you've been told, he's commanded the greatest majority of votes of any labour leader over the last 20yrs twice :/

The greatest number, but the population has also grown. Do you have access to the percentages of votes Corbyn and the other labour leaders have gotten over the last 20 years?

Thought I'd do it for you

Here are the percentages of votes that Labour have received, going back to 1997:
2019 - 32.2
2017 - 40
2015 - 30.4
2010 - 29.0
2005 - 35.24
2001 - 40.7
1997 - 43.2

Angela Rayner for sure, she’s left enough for the socialists and centrist enough for the new labour types, plus she’s a northerner from proper working class routes so can speak to the forgotten labour voter

Dan Jarvis or Keir Starmer are the only men options I'd go with.

Dan is mayor of Sheffield and an ex soldier and charismatic.

Someone who doesn't make pie in the sky outlandish promises.
Who doesn't try to cynically reel in young, idealistic voters.
Who won't stand for anti - semitism in the party.
Who isn't a terrorist supporter.
Who isn't a Marxist.
Who cares about UK security.
Who doesn't hate Britain.
Who can understand basic maths.
