Incidentally, where is his main residence now? And did he live in Bethnal Green / Bradford when he was MP there?

I hope he gets enough to win. And I'm no fan of his or his politics. Now, if he were someone capable of creating a wider movement in contention for power (or at least the balance thereof) then I might think again. As it is he just might add a bit of colour to a comically dull chamber.

I find this poll astonishingly hard to vote in. I heartily wish Mr Galloway to lose his deposit. I've gone for 1000-1999, as with a poll of about 35,000 or so, that gives him the chance of just frustrating that desire.

What is the Muslim electorate %? I assume 80% of his votes are Muslims If this accounts for more than a third of the total Muslim vote then I will feel comfortable stating that being Muslim and being British are concepts that are at odds with each other I would like to see him lose his deposit not because I care about Galloway but because of what it would say about British Muslims - namely that the concept exists in predominant numbers Being Muslim and being British are simply descriptors. They aren't concepts, they are statements of fact. So the number of people who are both British citizens and practice Islam are a quantifiable number, not dependent on anything else other than being in both f these groups. |

How come Neath West has a different typeface for his/her name than everyone else?

Being Scottish I am acutely aware that a person can be legally British and have no personal commitment to that whatsoever Logically the same is true for other groups Its not about 'personal commitment'. Just a statement of fact. |

So if I am biologically male but my personal commitment is female it’s the commitment that counts but if I am legally British but have no commitment to it at all nobody should raise questions about the commitment Not in the least related. The comment you made assumed that the terms Muslim or British are not legally defined very clearly , according to who has British citizenship, and who is an adherent of the Muslim faith. As they are there is no question as to whether anyone who is both Muslim and British are British Muslims. They simply are. Commitment is entirely irrelevant. Statehood is a fact, not an attitude or belief. Other examples have no relationship to that legal actuality. |

I'm not sure what David Boothroyd means, but the 'N' in 'Neath" is in a serif font, whereas as far as I can see everything else on the Forum is sans serif, so even if the rest of his/her name is made up out of 'lookalike characters' (presumably an italic version of, in part, the Greek version of the Forum's typeface) I don't see how the 'N' can be.
(Am I being pedantic?)

It's followed by small Epsilon (120576), an italic small 'a' from the Mathematical character set (120354), small Tau (120591), small 'h' also from the Mathematical characters, a space, a mathematical capital 'W' (120298), another small Epsilon, a small 's' from the Mathematical characters (120372), and another small Tau. |

The most popular option in the poll is leading with only 31% of the vote - apt for what might happen come Thursday!

I can pretty much guarantee that, if he gets a vote which he considers to be "embarrassing", he wont turn up for the count |

Thanks for raising this as I wondered myself! But I believe this is unicode character 120500 - I pasted it into a spreadsheet and got is unicode number via a spreadsheet function - defined as MATHEMATICAL BOLD CAPITAL NU thereaderwiki.com/en/Nu_(letter) 𝚴 which seems to be defined with serifs - you can also get MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD CAPITAL NU 𝝢 (unicode 120674) It is not N - unicode character 78 The other letters are similar - the italic h is unicode 120361 (not unicode 104). So you could have been Ⓣℴ 𝕹Ꮍℍ𝑖ℓℓ🔥 if you had wanted to be 🙄 😎 - although it seems not for those on an ipad. unicode-table.com/en/ |

That means that he would have to wait until the end of the count before making a decision about whether to go to the count. Is he a Time Lord? |
