I know this is not everyone’s cup of tea, but last night’s Bradford West by-election result was astonishing.
The full result (with vote share and change since 2010 in brackets):
George Galloway (Respect) 18,341 (55.89%, +52.83%) [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Imran Hussain (Lab) 8,201 (24.99%, -20.36%)
Jackie Whiteley (C) 2,746 (8.37%, -22.78%)
Jeanette Sunderland (LD) 1,505 (4.59%, -7.08%)
Sonja McNally (UKIP) 1,085 (3.31%, +1.31%)
I’m a huge fan and at least we will have one politician in Westminster who is not a ‘yes-man’.
