A sound summary, I would think - you can add to the 'blame' list those that nominated him to get over the line for being on the ballot. Many were experienced politicians, they must have known he was weak and wasn't up to the job.Whilst I entirely agree with you in principle, to a certain extent it wasn’t all his fault.
As a politician he’s really not that much - I’ve met him - and there are far more capable politicians around in all of the main parties. He’s certainly not a leader, which he demonstrated handsomely. He was, essentially, a figurehead for Momentum and the hard left, put on a pedestal and told what to say. You can see the same in the Labour councils that have been taken over by Momentum - Haringey for example.
Obviously Corbyn has to take much of the blame - he agreed to stand, stayed on far too long, and didn’t act on this issue (and others) when it was clear he should have. [/b]However those behind him also must take some of the blame.[/b]
