So much for the hysterical calls for him to immediately resign.
You've all had a few weeks to process what happened in the election now, but I bet you still haven't worked out what the real reasons are that Johnson is still in power. Hint: Corbyn isn't one of them.
1. Corbyn is a muppet
2. Very few people want the kind of outdated socialism he is peddling (never have and never will)

BMG questioned 1,508 British adults between 8 and 10 January.
There was strong support for policies like free personal care for the elderly (backed by 83 per cent, with just 3 per cent opposing), action to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 (supported by a margin of 70-7 per cent), a £10 minimum wage (67-12) and income tax hikes for those earning over £80,000 (60-16).
And nationalisation of the railways was backed by 57 per cent, with 16 per cent opposed, with clear majorities also approving of public ownership for water (by a margin of 53-18 per cent), energy (52-20) and the mail (48-21).
Ending private sector provision of NHS services was backed by 48 per cent, with 19 per cent opposing, and abolishing university tuition fees won the backing of 56 per cent, against 20 per cent who were opposed.
The BMG survey for The Independent found that with less than three weeks to go before Brexit Day on 31 January, voters are (were) split by the highly symbolic margin of 52-48 per cent in favour of Remain – the reverse of the result of the 2016 referendum.
Participants also expected Brexit to be bad for the economy, the NHS, the unity of the UK and Britain’s place in the world over the next two years. Almost three in 10 (29 per cent) expected to be personally worse off as a result of EU withdrawal, while just 15 per cent expected their finances to be improved
