Or the actual reason that someone started it as a joke, then some very serious people who for some reason still think the internet, and more specifically Twitter, is a place for serious grown-up conversation said that people shouldn’t be mean and joke about it, which naturally led to far more people doing it to the extent it started trending.
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Mmm, sorry but whilst you often get things right, you got that very wrong.

Yeah it's definitely more believable that some random poll over 3 years out from an election enraged people so much they tried to will the idea of Starmer leaving into existence.
As much as you might not personally view it this way, and plenty don't, online spaces on the whole are like big cyber playgrounds where different groups of people are scrapping around kicking up dirt which sometimes gets in the eye of someone who isn't really involved in the original melee.
An itfc equivalent of what happened here is that if someone from the EADT said there was some big news coming out of the club, then deleted the tweet, someone screenshotted it and, as a joke, said it was proof that Lambert had been sacked. Other people who don't really like, or are ambivalent to, Lambert think it's also funny to pretend he's been sacked so keep on making jokes about it until a lot of people are talking about it, including people who aren't 'in' on the joke in the first place. Sure there'll be the odd person using the opportunity to earnestly make the case for him being sacked but the majority of it is just people pissing around.
Not a perfect comparison as Lambert being sacked would be almost universally supported but you get the point.

Sorry again, but you have no idea what you're talking about where Twitter, and particularly Twitter in relation to Starmer, is concerned.
Corbynistas are a very vocal minority on there, as are a number of Tory bots.
Easily ignored owing to the excellent full block facility not available on twtd.
