I would wish Galloway on no-one.

You stupid **** Galloway is pure evil. I agree. Galloway is a nasty piece of work with an ego to match.

You stupid **** Galloway is pure evil. Agree. You should think of it roughly like I would think of the prospect of the Lib Dems losing a seat to the BNP. Fair comment.

According to Sky News, there's a predicted 37% swing from Labour to Respect.

That would be Blaenau Gwent 2005 levels - hard to believe unless GG also took large numbers of non-Muslim votes??

The Tories have fallen back significantly and the Lib Dems have "collapsed". Could be a strong tactical vote against Labour?

I am not surprised if our vote has gone south.

Never was "cutting off your nose to spite your face" better summed up. I could imagine having tactically voted there. But not for Galloway!

A similar thing was seen in Bethnal Green & Bow in 2005. Lots of voters don't place themselves on a linear spectrum and switch votes accordingly.

Indeed I was talking to my Conservative opponent agent )of Glasgow extraction) a few days before polling day 05 and we both admitted that we might have voted for Oonah King. Ordinary voters are of course another matter.

Dumbfounded to learn that Galloway might win Bradford West tonight. Sad news indeed.

Doubt if I shall bother watching it. Will be avoiding all news media as much as possible for at least the next few days, as well

Um, what do you expect him to say exactly?? I rarely have any idea what Ian will say (unless it is a diatribe against anything Tory). I was rather curious what his views on or perhaps excuses for Labours performance in Bradford W might be.
