Revolutionary led island to overwhelming victory (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landslide

'overwhelming victory' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'revolutionary led island' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' is an anagram indicator.
'led'+'island'='ledisland'
'ledisland' is an anagram of 'LANDSLIDE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for landslide that I've seen before include "big majority" , "Large earth movement" , "Overwhelming election majority" , "Overwhelming election win" , "Movement at grass-roots level" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
