A few in the tory party blaming Hancock for the defeat. Certainly the news of what he's been up to won't have helped.

George Galloway a distant third. But in the true spirit of populist vermin, he is appealing to the courts for the result to be set aside.

Nice to see the vast majority of votes go to centrist parties. The far right and Galloway left trailing
Galloway is a superb orator

As was Tony Benn

They never got much done though

I will always admire Galloway sticking it to America over Iraq though
