glasgow sheep Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Well never saw that happening, in fact never even knew Bradford had a by-election. Bit of a kick in the balls for Labour going from a safe majority to losing by 10,000. Galloway couldn't even garner more than 7000 votes as a Glasgow list candidate in the 2011 Election and has now gone to Bradford and won 18,000 votes! If Labour are losing by-elections like this it's not looking promising for them going forward: George Galloway Respect 18,341 55.9 +52.8 Imran Hussain Labour 8,201 25.0 -20.3 Jackie Whiteley Conservative 2,746 8.4 -22.7 Jeanette Sunderland Liberal Democrat 1,505 4.6 -7.1 Sonja McNally UKIP 1,085 3.3 +1.3 Dawud Islam Green 481 1.5 -0.8 Neil Craig Democratic Nationalists 341 1.0 -0.1 Howling Laud Hope Monster Raving Loony 111 0.3 N/A Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/4085-gorgeous-george/
Kowalski Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Always amusing seeing the words "George Galloway" and "Respect" in the same sentence. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/4085-gorgeous-george/#findComment-128368
fatjim Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Galloway is a tit but it is nice watching him ruffle a few feathers. It will definitely be a more interesting place with him in parliament. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/4085-gorgeous-george/#findComment-128372

caledonia Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Bradford is full of mass immigration and Gorgeous George always targets Asian voters Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/4085-gorgeous-george/#findComment-128388
mizer Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Bradford is full of mass immigration and Gorgeous George always targets Asian voters Only 37% of the constituency is Asian and the rest predominantly white. He picked up 28% of the possible vote and there was 3 Asian candiates - lets be honest most of his votes came from disasatified white working class voters who feel no affinity with the Ed 'I just bought a sausage roll' Milliband.
