Staunchly pro-Palestinian left-wing firebrand George Galloway on Thursday won a chaotic by-election in Rochdale, northwestern England that was defined by the Israel-Gaza conflict.
The controversial former Labour MP, who was standing for the Workers Party of Britain, won 12,335 votes with a majority of 5,697, giving his party its first-ever Member of Parliament in Britain’s House of Commons. It will be Galloway’s fifth constituency in 37 years, having now unseated his former party in three separate elections.

They have a Nigel, but he was censored and de-banked. UK doesn't have a BOR.
They area cancer that is metastasizing.
IMHO...this is the issue with a Parliamentary system, too many parties break up the vote. It only takes a demographic to vote as a block, like Muslims, to win elections. Christian’s and others are probably voting for various candidates.
With the ‘problems’ of a two-party system, this isn’t one of them.
My ancestors have been on these shores since the 1630s.
We’ve seen worse.
Just like the US, the letter after the UK pol’s name means bugger all anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to his former constitutional monarchy or to his Deep State.
The vast majority of the UK’s pols have shown themselves to be their Deep State’s.
I disagree about the latter.
I would like to be proven incorrect.
We should have picked our own cotton
On what basis do you say “The UK has had a strong anti-semitic element for a very long time”>
if you mean some of Labour’s idiots, then well every country has idiots. Unless you mean at the government level, do you?
Damn straight. Biggest screw up ever.
Imagine the Caribbean sans melanin. We ruined paradise.
I can’t play an instrument.
I’m watching football.
Lol…
Make sure you have fried, salty Soy Sugar Bombs for snacks.
Get drunk, smoke pot, and watch PornHub during commercials…
FWIW, I love being wrong. :-)
I’m really thinking of Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. At one point, Mosley was seen as a possible Prime Minister. Many people liked him, and many upper class people supported him. He eventually came to nothing, but there was support for anti-semitism at the time.
... we already have those asses here running out government.
They’re called obamanites. Their philosophy is basically as the Jackal and Ayers see life, through and Marxist Muslim kaleidoscope.
These asses are in their final stages of destroying America.
This void will not go unnoticed.
It’ll be violent as hostile state actors jostle for position.
Absolutely true. The antisemitic streak in Britains runs through millennia. So, if they are stupid enough to give their country away on a platter to murderous irrational fiends, not much we can do. But I wonder how that will affect their status as a very important ally of the U.S. Somehow I doubt that a muzzlime majority nation will step up to be at our side in times of crisis. More like stab us in the back.
Firebrand? It just may be that the English voters want some fire in someone, anyone.
ENOCH POWELL WAS RIGHT!
