Sure, but I’d argue that Corbyn was divisive enough that he drove more right wingers to vote. And we can argue his potential electability, but when it came down to it he was leader of a Labour party which failed to win an election.
It’s not that there isn’t a large progressive bloc in the UK, it’s that it’s just not big enough to win elections.
No. Corbyn got far votes than Starmer did. It’s just that the Tories hadn’t collapsed at that point.
