Opinion of George Galloway

[You kip if you want to...]

again the left-liberal airheads can't understand the concept that in these situations, it's not about George Galloway.


my main man Richard Seymour summed it up well.

Harriet Harman, who is far from the worst in Labour's leadership, showed the paucity of Labour's analysis when she insisted that 1) this result in Bradford a purely regional phenomenon, with no wider ramifications, and 2) this has nothing to do with Labour's failure to oppose, since "We've had a completely different argument from the Tories, arguing that they are cutting too far, too fast."  The latter, of course, is not "a completely different argument".  It is an argument which accepts the principle of austerity; which is to say, it is an argument which accepts that working class people have to put up with a generation being lost to joblessness, with tuition fees, privatization, service cuts, benefit cuts, and the evisceration of local infrastructure. The real problem is that Labour has no sense of how to oppose the coalition, because it has preemptively conceded most of the territory.  This is because Labour's leadership knows that if the party wins a general election, they have no intention whatever of adopting a fundamentally different course or of significantly reversing anything the Tories now implement.

Yes! That's exactly why Labour lost the other 5 by-elections this parliament as well. They just can't oppose. They are the Conservatives.

Oh, wait.

Labour's spin on this sounds poor, yes, but it's true.

It has been interesting to see the rise of the Green Party and now, RESPECT Party to parliament. I'm hoping the UKIP gets a few seats as well

Respect's already had seats in parliament. UKIP are as successful as the Referendum Party.

Seats or seat? Has RESPECT ever won any seats with anyone besides Galloway?

No, it may as well call itself "The George Galloway Party".

George, seething at the PM making fun of him at PMQs today.
