He is and its largely in line with the Tory voters wishes more widely, theyd prefer mogg but he wasnt in the running.
It's hard to know what is going on right now Bali. It's gone to shit since they got the extension to override article 50.
Boris says deal and if not no deal, think most of the common folk on that side are no deal leaning.
Corbyn/Swinson say never no deal, with a deal/remain split and it's hard to gauge the public leaning, I'd suggest public leaning remain.
Read that tonight's vote and tomorrow's expected results do not have to be taken on board as there is a precedent for doing so, iirc by Blair.
The mad thing is, it looks like the Tories want a general election and corbyn/swinson dont as they are essentially having a blair/Corbyn battle via libs/labour. But Blair has interjected himself again into the issues and this might swing Corbyn into an election call as Blair has literally suggested an election is a bad idea with Corbyn in situ. Blair doesn't seem to realise how toxic he actually is in British politics and how hard Corbyn opposes him.
While the reality would seem to be that if there is a general election, or when there is one, Brexit will be the key issue. The lib/lab spat is also why they wont table a motion of no confidence to oust BJ, it seems even more so the reason than the Tories 'defectors' not wanting Corbyn as PM.
The remain fear is that a general election would produce an actual pro Brexit parliament if I understand their electoral system properly.

Of course there is the Brexit party to contend with and voting pact strategies.
We live in interesting times as a result of bad politics (and increasingly people too perhaps) with 7 conflict zones this century via the caring hand of destabilising geopolitical interventionism and everyone's losing their shit about the disruption of trade and what the material future holds.
The amount of misinformation going around presently is rather dangerous imo.
