I think modern elections are as much about the party as a whole, and about policies, as much as the leader.
Given that, as you acknowledge, Keir Starmer is not setting the bar particularly high, it is the rest of the people who come with him that will also put people off.
With no coherent policies to tempt the voters, Labour seem content to complain about whatever the Tories do, while offering nothing in terms of an alternative.
That shows no sign of changing.
Ironically, Johnson swept in on a tide of revulsion at the nonsense that was Jeremy Corbyn, as an individual and as a leader, he can still drift in on a tide of indifference to Keir Starmer, but it doesn't matter how you get in, it's getting in that counts.
