No, as I stated in that sentence you are quoting from, that is exactly what they are not doing.
> In truth, electorally the Tories would far rather face Corbyn and the tankies at each election.
They faced Corbyn less than three years ago and failed to secure enough MPs to form a government by themselves and had to bribe a loony right-wing extremist party with £1,000,000,000 of British taxpayers' money to grab power[0].
In that election Corbyn received a (far) higher percentage of the vote than every winning Prime Minister of the previous three elections, including Tony Blair in 2005.
So no, what you said is not even remotely the truth, which is exactly why so much time, energy and money was spent trying to destroy/remove Corbyn.
