Not that disastrous in a seat they last won in 1951. Oh it is. If ever there was an opportunity, with the Labour Party out of the picture, for the claims that the working class would rise up and turn right, this was it. It failed to happen. They might not have won, because the local guy offered a trustworthy alternative and Galloway appealed to those disgusted with both parties's stance on Gaza. Those by the way were not just the "Muslim" vote. They should though have done a lot better.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

I note that all this commentary about Politicians being threatened is when we suddenly hear about it. They couldn't give a feck about the common man and woman in the street watching their local demographics change without being asked. No, as soon as the imported that they allowed in are mean to them....that's when you hear about it. One could hope in desperation that they might take the bigger picture a little more seriously given current events. They normally get forced into action when it affects them. I'd have thought one of their number getting murdered would have started the alarm bells.

I don't think it tells us anything about the general election.

Just a con artist. He'll be revealed soon enough for who is - again.
I would disagree with Mr Galloway on many many things but watching him speak is a master class in the fading art of Rhetoric. His victory yesterday was a symptom a rot at the very heart of our nation that both the Labour and Conservatives are hand in hand in creating. Both now an utter corruption and in need of wiping out. Us on the Right need our Galloway. I did have some hopes it might be Farage but that is now fading by the hour. But he will emerge.

What his speech really tried to say was that we should all just keep faith with the mainstream and trust them with our future. He still thinks that a multi faith multi ethnic society is the way forward. He would wouldn't he. God help us.

He fits right into politics - that would be right. As for everything else - he's a paid stooge, like most politicians. More like a Court jester for the Tzars.

I'd have thought one of their number getting murdered would have started the alarm bells. Very true. I take no pleasure in them reaping what they sowed. But it's their harvest. Johnson stood in front of TV cameras and called those who came to defend our statues the left's atheist word for Satan: 'racists'. Well, it's only going to get worse and let the soy boys defend them and the mess they created. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Mar 2024 11.34am)

The postal vote exceeded the winning total

If you think the Russian elections are legitimate then you might believe this election result. I'd say there was as much a surprise outcome in this election too.

Because the voters of Rochdale are uniquely convinced the Conservative party has done such a brilliant job over the past few years obviously.
