I didn't think it was that difficult.
He stood to be Leader of the Labour Party. He did so as a complete outsider with aim of widening the debate beyond degrees of Blairism. No serious political commentator thought he had a snowball's chance. A bet of £1k on Corbyn to win placed on the day after nominations closed would have made you a millionaire.
Do you really think his own perceptions were vastly different? He expected to follow Dianne Abbot's example and founder having 'made a point'.
After the hustings debates in which he looked far more convincing than the three stooges he suddenly acquired a momentum of his own. By that time it was too late to jump off.
So actually, the 'crown he could not refuse' isn't a bad analogy.
