So no evidence of personal gain.

Why is he still there given that he says that Theresa May must go because her party barely supported her?
He was overwhelmingly defeated by his Parliamentary party in a vote.
He did better than expected in the election (happy to admit that), but still lost. He had a PM who revealed herself to be an awful campaigner with a policy in place to annoy her own core vote there as well. Then you had Grenfell. Then you had the fact that nobody was standing up to be realistic about Brexit then, so he could get away with his lack of policy (the customs union policy came only last February). It was a great result in terms of not being beaten badly, but that was it.
He also was, whether he was actually supporting it or not, supposed to he one of the major figureheads opposing Brexit. He lost.
He consistently polls worse than Theresa May.
Corbyn has one thing he has won, the Labour Party vote. But that party is overwhelmingly Remain. Labour voters are overwhelmingly Remain. The minority percentage who supported Leave from Labour is only 3% higher than the Lib Dems, who are still enthusiastic Remainers?
So is he actually there beyond him wanting the prize and the hard Left of the party being afraid they’ll never control the party again? He isn’t like by his Parliamentady party. He isn’t acting in the interests of his party. It’s the most important issue for the UK in a generation, but he has been barely interested.
I think Flatty needs to correct the record here, a tree is easily climbed when knocked but still, it’s more likely Diane rode Jeremy.
So still no evidence of personal gain.
In that case he’s the heart of a lion

It’s a question as to why the man continues to lead his party and go against its wishes?
Just as no other PM would ever survive the shitshow they’re in, no other Leader of the Opposition would either.
Why is he still there and why has he continually dragged his feet over what to do over Brexit? We can criticize Theresa May for ignoring the National interest and focusing on her party, what is Corbyn at?
There is no point trying to make sense of the positions held by hard left politicians. Obviously all politicians are self serving, but the hard left take the biscuit. Corbyn is an absolutely useless fuckwit, if he becomes PM the UK deserves all the shit that’s coming their way.
Look at the history of the left in Ireland for example. Bleating about the downtrodden and then jumping at the first chance to get on the gravy train. At least the Irish electorate have had the good sense to tell them to get fucked.
He wants to force an election. Simple.

That’s true but goes back to the in it for himself piece.
The musing out there is that for Corbyn in an ideal world that there will be a hard Brexit and then election. You can’t call that anything other than selfish.
It’s his world view.
But that’s to explicitly argue against the reality - which is that he is trying to get a hard Brexit ruled out, while Theresa May refuses to do this and pushes Britain ever closer to the precipice.
Facts don’t mean much for Tory Corbyn-bashers.
Much easier to rely on “feelings”.
Genuine question, what is it that Corbyn is for on the Brexit question?
Whether there is a hard Brexit or not depends largely on the EU and their willingness to renegotiate with the UK. They have already said the deal on the table is the only deal, I suspect they are serious in this.
If a general election were called what would Corbyn campaign on? Campaign for Brexit in keeping with the referendum results? or go against everything he has stood for all his political life and back UK membership of the EU? Why doesn’t he say what he is actually for?
Why don’t you open a newspaper? Online even. He answered this at PMQs only yesterday.
Wrong again.
