I'll explain the uk parliament to you.
It's not a presidential system.
The prime minister is merely leader of whatever government is mashed together from the 646 geographical "seats" in the government. Each area votes local representatives in from the main parties. Corbyn is just leader of labour.
Generally the system delivers at least one party with the 324 seats required to have a majority and therefore, with the help of obedient mps, get through all the legislation they want
In 2015 and now the system didn't deliver any majority. So everyone is confused as hell. In 2015 conservatives and liberals teamed up in coalition. This time it's not as simple, every party is basically anti Brexit except conservatives. No one wanted to get into bed with them even tho at 318 seats they r the largest. So they hVe done some really amateur and unofficial with a small northern Irish party called DUP who have 10 seats where the DUP agree to get all conservative legislation over the line - most likely in return for some mental levels of northern Irish investment. They will probably pave the roads of Belfast in gold
So corbyn hasn't actually won, but if the tories hadn't managed to talk over the DUP, well the SNP and labour in that case could have formed a government if the liberals had supported them and then corbyn would be the prime minister as leader of the "government"
This is why Theresa May was in such a rush. At 12.20pm yesterday Nicola sturgeon who runs the SNP offered to form such a hodge podge government with labour but by 12.25pm Theresa May was already meeting with the queen. In these cases, which are rare but happened in 2015 too, when you think u can make a "coalition" you have to go to the queen and prove to her your government won't be total chaos. If she gives her blessing, that coalition goes into government. The incumbent pm always gets first shot and if may had had 4 less seats, then the DUP wouldn't be sufficient and corbyn wud most likely be pm
This is why the media is treating. Corbyn like the winner. This majority of the may government is so small, it will be chaos, the eu will have us on the ropes in Brexit talks and there will be another election to sort the House of Commons out. Now bare in mind May was expected in polls to have a 90 seat majority so you can see why corbyn has all the momentum now. Suddenly no one believes in May or her party anymore and when the said second election takes place which it likely will chances are labour/SNP/liberals will rack up enough seats to make corbyn the coalition pm
