⁠@@ruthharding4594I’d be willing to vote Green if they can persuade Labour into an electoral pact. Otherwise, sad as it is, voting for them just gives the Tories a better chance at clinging onto power.

[@ruthharding4594]

@@tayetrotman That's all true, but by threatening to take votes away from Labour, they can encourage them to shift left, like reform are doing to the tories. Labour are almost guaranteed a majority whatever happens, so we should just vote for the parties and candidates we most agree with.

The issue with George Galloway is that even when he is right, he manages to be right for the wrong reasons. He was against the Iraq war primarily because he was a MASSIVE fan of Saddam Hussein, not because he is a genuine anti-imperialist. He has shown he is more then willing to excuse the imperialist acts of other countries. Like Russia or China, if its convenient for him to do so.

[@yellowgreen5229]

To be fair Saddam was a secularist between a theocracy and and theocratic Monarchy, getting rid of him gave us ISIS who are rather more dangerous so I can't see how that helps anyone but Israel who wanted him gone at that time.

As a fedora wearer of long standing I must say that the main reason Galloway wears his all the time nowadays is because he's bald and vain. Like many men who are bald and vain he doesn't realise that nothing says you're bald and vain like wearing your hat indoors, even under studio lights. The sooner this item of classic headwear is, once more associated with people like Al Capone - or at least, the movie _Miller's Crossing_ - and not the likes of Galloway, the better.

Having said that, I wouldn't trust Keir Starmer to change a fucking light bulb without first asking the light bulb if it ever supported Jeremy Corbyn, and if it said yes, smashing it in a fit of rage. He's a dishonest shit-wizard and it'll be more of the same under his watch. Your options for the next election are essentially - 'Incredibly Crap', or 'Less Crap But Still Almost Entirely Crap'.

Labour taking Natalie Elphicke on board is a bad, bad move. It makes labour look like red tories which is fucking awful. Add in the whole mess of the Elphicke family and it doesn't matter what visuals having a tory join you will show but this was a really fucking bad move.

[@RevolutionarySM]

George Galloway is a typical social-conservative inside the labour movement. This is why is he closely allied to Stalinist groups. Stalinism also supports the conservative family structures as Stalin banned gay marriage in the 1930's. Galloway is this guy who is centre-leftist on economics, yet right-wing on social issues.

[@kumstuke]

[@alantheinquirer7658]

Taking on Elphick was a great punch in the head for Sunak. Since she's not standing for the GE, Starmer can afford to have her 'investigated' and kicked out. Her next stop is Reform UK to compare notes with 30p Lee.

[@iana6713]

Galloway is yesterday's man, the equivalent of those Members of Parliament who used to go to the Eastern Bloc countries and come back stating how impressed they were while there and how we were far too hard on them. The man has praised the Soviet Union and China - China, for goodness sake - for their "achievements". It is actually one of the points emphasised by his Workers' Party which is mind-boggling when you think of how those regimes treated their people. Then there was the infamous lauding of Saddam... As for Sunak, I'm too polite to say publicly what I think of that man.
