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-Populist? Yeah, right! You may not like him, that's fair enough, but his political stance certainly isn't 'Populist' Tell me, what has he been wrong about concerning the middle east and his warnings to Blair over the invasion of Iraq, which incidentally, contributed massively to the rise of Al qaeda and Isis, and the radicalisation of some moderate muslims and those who were on the tipping point. He was spot on, like him or not.
