Workers Party of Britain

[JamesWales]

Now odds on to win Rochdale according to Odds checker.com

This is George Galloways latest party.

Re: Workers Party of Britain

The Green Party candidate was also axed by his party a week ago - for old social media posts.

Labour and Greens abandoning the fight.

I have no idea how this will play out but a lot of the press coverage in the last couple of days is presenting it as a shoot out between Gorgeous George and the disgraced former Labour MP Simon Danczuk who has reappeared as the Reform candidate.

Monster Raving Loonies to come through the middle?

From an uninspiring field I think Galloway may be the least worst option. He would certainly make Westminster more interesting for a few months.

It's quite extraordinary really. Green party discredited. Labour candidate discredited. Reform party previously dropped as an MP for messaging a 17 year old. Tory candidate seems okay but unpopular nationally. George Galloway is George Galloway.

I actually don't mind George Galloway. Probably because I find that he is reasonably polite along with his very strong views. I used to be a member of Respect and had a lot of time for him them, although I think he is very divisive now. He is also very pro- Brexit and says this on Labour:

"The working-class patriotic alternative to fake woke anti-British 'Labour'"

Would be quite something to have a "workers party of Britain" MP in the commons.

All a bit depressing too and shows how these historic issues, recordings, twitter posts and things come back to haunt you.

I think Labour are right to drop him but I do worry about entirely anodyne politics

As an anti-royalist would Galloway pledge the obligatory Oath of Allegiance to the King in order to take his place in Parliament if he were to win the seat? The dice are nicely loaded for the royals in that respect.

Simon Danczuk Is an interesting’ character, sacked by Labour back in mid 2020s for inappropriate sexual correspondence and images to a girl allegedly.
Or you can vote for a person that thinks Israel allowed Oct 7 to happen and no council should fly an Israel flag
Or there is Galloway and his ego
Take your pick

I'd happily vote for anybody who banned flags altogether.

It doesn't really feel fair, these people already have to live in Rochdale and now they are left to pick through this mess as well.

It;s just a dick waving contest

If anyone puts any faith in any politician, they deserve all they get, self serving to$$ers.

Remind me why we've had so many by elections since the last general election again?
Ok Rochdale is after a death but I'm sure a fair few others have been along the lines of bullies and sex pests resigning as Tory MPs
