Galloway’s Rochdale win shows the Tories AND Labour ARE beatable!

Whatever you think of George Galloway, he's just shown the way for small parties and Independent candidatea to cut through.
Right, so George Galloway has won the Rochdale by-election, but he didn’t just win it, it was a landslide, yet the media are going to great lengths to excuse this win as somehow exceptional, several mouthpieces referring to it as a win in special circumstances and although certainly there has been a lot of controversy leading up to this by-election and even on the night of it, actually none of that mattered, because Galloway first and foremost stood on a platform on a subject that he has been consistent on for decades, Israel and Palestine, and no matter what you think of the man himself, what he’s done the past that has also certainly courted controversy, and goodness knows the media are deploying that again now, what he has shown here and what the result has actually shown, is that a continuation by the two mainstream parties to back Israel in light of them committing some of the worst atrocities in living memory, is a vote killer and a small party, or even an independent, can and will beat them both when they stand for what is right and what is just.
Right, so election night last night got off to a bumpy start as all hell broke loose, the returning officer was called in early, the police were also called to the Deeplish Community Centre, where George Galloway’s team had caught Labour red handed engaging in corruption for a candidate that their party had formally already disowned, aided and abetted by a clerk, who got sacked on the spot! It turns out Galloway’s campaign manager had discovered that Labour canvassers were being allowed to speak to voters outside and that voting without ID was being permitted. How much this benefitted Labour’s former candidate, we don’t know, a candidate Starmer blew off because he knew he was going to lose this seat and needed to save face. The candidate Azhar Ali, had dared voice a contrasting opinion on the events of October 7th to that of Starmer’s Labour, he shared Egypt’s view of said events, Egypt claiming to have warned Israel about Hamas plans well in advance of October 7th. Justifiably chagrined by his treatment by his party, and knowing he would still appear on the ballot for Labour, Ali carried on, painting himself as an anti Starmer candidate, but all in all it amounted to nothing, as Galloway, very much already the anti Starmer candidate, ended up wiping the floor with his opponents and taking Rochdale for his Workers Party of Britain.
Turnout in Rochdale, considering this was a by-election was not bad, 39.7% was the turnout, roughly two thirds of typical general election turnout and of that Galloway took 39.7% of the vote, giving him a not indecent majority of 5,697. Obviously he only holds the seat for a matter of months before things go to a General Election, but having stood on a platform not just on Gaza, but also on local hospital, particularly maternity care as well, he has a bit of time to prove his worth to his new constituents.
