Yes, there were some good articles a week ago contrasting his approach to Gove's.

Does the poll show Boris is the most popular of the candidates? Yes. Does it show he is the difference between a huge majority and the Tories losing over 100 seats? Not really.

You're taking what appears to simply be legitimate objections to that as being motivated by a metropolitan elite fear of Boris Johnson. It's just a crap way to report the results.

As an aside I think you overestimate the degree to which the liberal left cares about the Corbyn project. It's no more a singular bloc than the right is. The surge of support for the Liberal Democrats and the clearly soft numbers for Corbyn show how little of a base Corbyn's Labour actually has.
Nailed it.
