...how any constituency in Britain could elect that old rogue Galloway.
He took 56 percent of the vote on a remarkably high turnout for a bye-election. An ethnic vote cannot be the whole story. He was running against a British-Asian Labour candidate. Somebody, please explain it to me.
Someone might also need to explain it to Mr. Miliband. He must be in state of shock this morning. How could Labour lose such a rock solid seat?
Yesterday, the hapless Labour leader issued a press release about the petrol non-crisis, claiming that Mr. Cameron was 'presiding over a shambles" and urged him "get a grip and calm the situation."
Shambles; now that is a good word. It certainly describes the Labour party right now. Miliband, I sense, does not have the necessary skills to calm the situation within his own party.
A leadership election in the Autumn?

Miliband is a goner. Labour must have been smoking something when they chose him as leader.

I doubt he has the necessary skills to stir a cup of tea - even if you handed him the spoon the right way up.
He is a gonner for sure...
"a remarkably high turnout for a bye-election": maybe. But don't forget that Mr Blair changed the rules on voting for, no doubt, deplorable reasons.
Galloway (and Livingstone) ditched the white working-class in persuit of votes.
Now they appear to be ditching women and homosexuals in persuit of votes too.
They should be called out for supporting those who believe in homophobia and mysoginy and act on those beliefs.
misogyny.
Well it doesn't look right. Probably because it isn't.
You spell like a girl, you silly bugger.
simple really the electorate are fed up to the back teeth of puppet politicians controlled by big business, on whose behalf they speak with forked tongue. Galloway speaks his mind, for better or worse, is most definately his own man and not a spokesman for anyone. So many see him as an alternative to all/any of the three main parties who all say the same do the same and are controlled by big money. I.E. we are all fed up with the current big three parties.
Galloway spoke at a hustings on the street of Glasgow last year, and while he is horrible, his is a convincing and beguiling demagogue. I suspect that Jaffa is right, and the undignified rush to centre right pursued by Labour, and the rush to the scary right by the Condems is ignoring the fact that many Labour voters actually like the left-wing politics that vain and empty Galloway claims to represent.
What so you don't understand why the Labour party's imported voters who happen to be largely Muslim don't vote for Ed Miliband who happens to be Jewish.
No, I just can't understand this at all!
