It's a bit cope, yes, but it's not meaningless. For the next 4 years there's someone on the right side of issues in parliament, whose voice will be heard by many. And when you consider that seat could've been a pro-Israel private healthcare ghoul, Corbyn's win does mean something.

Corbyn defeating the red Tory candidate is obviously good and makes a difference by giving the public a voice of reason during the rule of an unchecked red Tory regime.

His win is significant by demonstrating that a good candidate from the labour movement with sound politics can win, even when up against the full weight of the red Tory machine.

He will have no power over government though and he is just a single guy. He is also old and can't be expected to go on for much longer. If his victory is going to be good for anything he needs to use it to build the foundations for something better, like organising an opposition party together with leftists progressive forces all over the country.

Ok it doesn’t mean nothing it only means next to nothing

I think it's important to have such a voice in parliament. I think it would be much worse if it was total labour. Corbyn will stand as inspiration for a lot of resistance.
