Love him or hate him, this result in the Bradford West by-election is astonishing.
56% of the vote, thoroughly trashing a safe labour seat. I'd also agree that the result is a "total rejection" of the three major parties.
With the asian population being as high as it is in Bradford you'd expect his anti-war stance to be very popular, but even given that this is still an amazing turnaround.
Now, I think Mr Galloway's a bit of a dick, but prime ministers questions are going to be be significantly more interesting from now on 'cause we'll have a guy in there who's going to stand up and call all of the major parties dicks for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and who'll stand up and support the Palestinians, who are being proper fucked over by Israel.
And I'm fine with that.
