He'll point to having ended the A50 phase and the endless parliamentary squabbling as what he meant.
Two weeks to go.

Party affiliation, Brexit preference and Leader personality.

Party affiliation is still important but it's been eroded by Brexit and there'll be significant desertion from the norm, especially with Labour who've adopted a 'don't care' policy.
For those who still 'don't know' the leader personality will be the deciding factor.
Sure there are those who watch the news and follow the debates but these people have already made up their minds and watch debates to cheer or boo.
Corbyn would probably make a good PM but he's as attractive as a rock and Diane Abbott, well she's as helpful as a pile of poo.

You've not seen Trump cosying up to Boris and saying what a great PM he'd be?
Where have you been living that you don't see it as a completely appropriate reference?
