welshbairn Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I've bet on the whipless Labour candidate, bookies often get political odds wrong, they're likely just trying to balance their books after a load of money went on the old grifter George. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyStar Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Despite what he’s been up to for the last 15 years, Galloway is still less of a piece of shit than every single demon that voted for the Iraq war. He stood up to the entirety of the British state and told them to go f**k themselves at a time very few other politicians would even dare to speak out against the invasion. Just look at what they did to Charles Kennedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuffman Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Saw a woman on Youtube last night saying I'm a Labour voter, i've always voted Labour so I'll be voting Labour tomorrow.......where is she going to find that wee box to tick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Galloway is still a massive arsehole, being right about Iraq doesn't change that. He will almost certainly be elected in Rochdale tonight, enjoy the attention he gets, then never set foot in the place again, as per his usual modus operandi. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Labour guy will still have 'Labour' in his box. It was too late to withdraw him as a candidate so he'll win but sit as an independent MP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ballot papers had already been printed and postal ballots sent out before the Daily Mail Lee Wallaced the Labour candidate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 If he wins Galloway will have been elected an MP - rather than defecting/etc. - representing 3 different parties: Labour x4, Respect x2, and now Workers. (He also ran unsuccessfully as an MSP under 'All for Unity'). Can't be many politicians ever managed that hat-trick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the majority of grifting b*****d politicians have their limits on how many faces they'll present to the electorate. Not Galloway though - he'll take any amount of far right support to retain what he mistakenly might assume to be relevance. Has he still got a QotS season ticket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I had it in my head that David Owen had been a Tory at one time, but apparently not. He declared on three: Labour, SDP, and the Alliance. Could've made it four if he'd stuck around for the Social & Liberal Democrats. Tasmina's the undisputed queen, and has plenty of time to go when Alba stops being (somehow) profitable for her. They always seem to start their own party in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Seems nobody has ever been elected to Westminster for 3 distinct parties (there were some 'Liberal Unionist' tickets pre-WWI and 'National Labour' between the wars). Closest were Oswald Moseley ... won Harrow for Conservatives in 1918, 1922 and 1923 won Smethwick for Labour in 1924 and 1929 3rd in Stoke-on-Trent for New Party in 1931 (his wife had won for Labour in 1929) 4th in Kensington North for Union Movement in 1959 3rd in Shoreditch & Finsbury for Union Movement in 1966 and Jim Sillars... won South Ayrshire for Labour in 1970 (twice) and 1974 (twice) 2nd in South Ayrshire for Home Rule Scottish Labour in 1979 won Glasgow Govan for SNP in 1988 (his wife had won for SNP in 1973) and John Horam... won Gateshead West for Labour in 1970, 1974 (twice), 1979 3rd in Newcastle-upon-Tyne Central for SDP in 1983 won Orpington for Conservatives in 1992, 1997, 2001 and 2005 Edited February 29 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Churchill flipped from the Tories to the Liberals, joined by his comically named cousin Ivor Guest, and back to the Tories again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
