Rochdale voters choose antisemitism
Re: Rochdale voters choose antisemitism
Showing the 'indefatigability' of his commitment to the people of Rochdale, Galloway expresses his intention to stand in Ashton-under-Lyne at the next election.
And insists that "...the people picked Hamas"

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Re: Rochdale voters choose antisemitism
Bit late to this party, I was going to post this before among some other things but didn't get round to it - but it has been bugging me a bit. It was open to the electorate to abstain. It doesn't look like turnout was particularly low compared with other recent by-elections. So, even if the other 'left' choice was effectively removed, they still had a different kind of choice.
What does concern me is that it does seem to suggest that there seems to be a perception that there is a bit of a vacuum in terms of support for Palestine from the left, which is ideal ground for antisemitic and unscrupulous people to step in.

And remember that if you botch the exit, the carnival of reaction may be coming to a town near you.

Re: Rochdale voters choose antisemitism
In a great move for the people of Rochdale, Galloway floats the idea of running against Andy Burnham in this year’s May elections:

They must be so impressed with everything he’s going to be doing to deal with the local issues in Rochdale whilst campaigning for the next two months in an election he has no chance of winning. He’s already achieved so much in the last *checks notes* 16 days.

From his wiki:
He was my MP at the time of that interview. tbf, I hadn't expected a great deal of him - almost the first thing he did on being elected in Bradford was to tell everyone how happy he was to have been chosen to serve the voters of Blackburn. I think the next thing of note he did was to make some appalling comments about consent when he was defending Assange to the press.In October 2013, the Total Politics magazine published an interview with Galloway in which he admitted: "I like elections more than I like serving", and said that he found being an MP was "2% terrifying, and 98% tedium."
Here's how he left us:
I don't think Bethnal Green (2005-2010) got much out of him either. He seems to have spent more time getting suspended from parliament or licking imaginary milk than working for his constituents there.During his unsuccessful 2015 general election campaign to be re-elected for Bradford West, Galloway announced that he would stand in the election for London mayor in 2016 if he lost...

Looks like the Rochdale voters chose homophobia too.
Anger as George Galloway says gay relationships aren’t ‘normal’ and kids shouldn’t learn about them

Hardly a surprise! Though it seemed to come as one to Aaron Bastani.
