Minor correction: it would have been an 86 seat majority, but that's only 43 more than required. 43 more than required for him also subtracts 43 from his opponents, which is what makes it an 86 seat majority.
The rest of the post is undoubtedly correct, though Corbyn was more outspoken about being a socialist than Warren was.
Corbyn also seemed unable to be pro-anything, and topped it off with a reputation for being anti-Semitic. He couldn't even state his position on Brexit. In short, Labour got the drubbing they deserved, but don't assume it means all that much here in 2020. On he other hand, if it is truly a harbinger, then we know where the 4t is going this time.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
