Well done To George Galloway on his win, Keir Stramers Labour will lose many other safe seats in the Election due to Keir Starmers silence on what  Israel is carrying out on the Palestinians .

I just felt sorry for the voters of Rochdale not having a proper candidate on the ballot paper.

Everyone should be interested in what's happening in Palestine? They are human-beings too regardless of geography, creed, political persuasion, etc. What the Israeli Army and Mr Netanyahu are doing is genocide.

Rochdale is dominated by the Asian esp Pakistani community. As such, a Muslim representative is most likely these days; The Asian former Labour candidate was "pariah" by his forme Party. Mr Galloway knows how to play the policial game; he's form.

I think the results in Rochdale could give Sir Starmer a huge headache if the indiscriminate killings in Gaza continues or a ceasefire still not achieved come the next General Election. If so, the voters will be unlikely to vote Labour esp if a Muslim candidate is selected again post the sexual crimes in the area; the white locals could ditch Labour, and vote strategically again.

But, it was good the former Labour candidate was comprehensively ditched and beaten.

How are you defining 'a proper candidate' ?
By:

When: 01 Mar 24 12:48
That’s the ‘new’ meaning of genocide ofc, to go with the new meaning of racism and the new meaning of Islamophobia
All altered to fit a narrative to embolden just one set of beliefs.

It’s perhaps a good thing that the foreign policy desires of this Worker’s Party are separated from Labour.
Islam should have its own home in politics so that the major parties don’t attempt to appease them by creating mad laws that impact the majority

Being interested is ever so slightly  different to determining the actual result of elections of representatives to UK parliament. People who think that is the most pressing pollical issue for them, by definition care about what happens in foreign countries more than what happens on their own doorstep. Now why might that be ?

What I find utterly laughable is the ongoing discussion around party leaders calling for ceasefires in Gaza. It is purely a vote winning exercise, they don't actually think UK politicians calling for ceasefire will make a blind bit of difference do they ?

Some of them crave the block vote evidenced in this result. That, and we now live in this modern dystopia where what people say is far more important than what they actually do. At least, they think it is. The virtue signalling era.

Mr Cider- I'm really not going to get involved other than to point out with regard to the following:
"Everyone should be interested in what's happening in Palestine? They are human-beings too regardless of geography, creed, political persuasion, etc. What the Israeli Army and Mr Netanyahu are doing is genocide."

Should not "Everyone" be interested in what China is doing to the Uyghurs? Or what the Arab Muslims are doing to the African Muslims on the African continent? What about what's going on in Venezuela? The question is why is Israel held in isolation as a special case. Deep down we all know the answer. It's not more of a pity that I looked at the thread having seen the title than the thread should appear on a racing forum at all. I've left the politics forum for good. I really do hope that my enjoyment of the other forums will not have to cease too. There will be no further comment by me on this subject on this forum.

It's the latest liberalist dogma, Slicer. Predominately useful idiots who get told what to think by the bbc. Most of them couldn't find Israel/Palestine on a map.

Behind them you've got the people who do exactly know what they are doing. Allied by their shared hatred of the West, and our values.

Nut zero, blm, palestine, lower taxes, critical race theory, trans ideology, male self flagellation (& several others). Infected practically all of our institutions and cultural institutions, who now trip over themselves to confess to their racist and misogynistic past.

galloway is a prize canute and offensive dishonest unpricipled demagogue on the wrong side of everything. in his time hes supported saddam hussein, putin, xi , cuba, chavez/maduro in venezuela and the iranian revolution. the only one he has missed out is north korea

all of them would have bumped him off long ago

Perhaps you should give up on Forums DancingB? The point is a discussion platform for democratic debate which seems not to suit your view that everyone should agree and damn the facts as posted my mitolo?
