Would the Tories be doing even better, and Labour even worse if the disastrous project to leave the EU wasn't an issue?

From what I can see, Jeremy Corbyn is wildly unpopular with a huge swathe of people and would be losing voters regardless. Seen as ridiculous, unrelatable, indecisive, anti-semitic etc etc etc.

Were leaving the EU not an issue the election might well have focused much more on Corbyn, and not in a good way either.
