Others not so much maybe ...
All I heard from him was giving Keir Starmer an extended flaying on numerous counts - but not once condemning this stinking, corrupt, incompetent tory govt. or any of its MPs - not one word from him re the last 14 years  |  |

Well Ryorry still waiting for anyone to cheer his election, you must feel thoroughly let down. |
Didn't previously have you down as the kind of stupid prat who makes comments like that, but live & learn I guess. [Post edited 1 Mar 22:27]

Compass (of which I am a member) is very keen on this. Indeed, I remember attending an event of theirs shortly after Brexit in Sussex where Labour, Lib Dem and Green politicians were trying to promote what they call the progressive alliance in Tory areas. From recollection, Neal Lawson and Caroline Lucas were there.
The problem is that it is against Labour rules for this sort of thing to happen, although when secretary of our CLP I remember organising a council by-election where the Greens stood aside and helped deliver leaflets for the Labour candidate. We did, however, have to keep it hush-hush.
Clive Lewis is keen on this but not many other Labour MPs are, and an attempt at rule change in 2022 failed.

Wow, didn't know it was against Labour rules, and would support attempts to change that. I do remember the Progressive Alliance too, & that in a couple of our recent-ish locals, Lib Dems & Greens have stood aside for each other. | |

You did quite literally say in the thread title that you bet a few on here are loving George Galloway's return as MP. What did you mean by that if not that you thought a few on here would be loving George Galloway's return as MP? BDS's comment about you being disappointed is a little silly but otherwise I can't really see how he's misinterpreted your OP. |  |

According to Compass, Lib Dem and Green Party members are not bound by such a rule.
As regards the South Devon Primary, that would seem to be an independent initiative that the three parties locally are prepared to go along with because the three candidates are willing to attend, but were it to be, say, the Lib Dem candidate who emerged as the person most likely to win, I am sure the Labour Party centrally would still insist a Labour candidate stood. But in many ways that is right because removing a candidate from the ballot in a General Election would deny a committed Labour vote the right to vote for Labour. [Post edited 2 Mar 9:16]

That's two of you who either need visits to opticians or lessons in English or to be less eager to read what you want to instead of what's there.

I don't think anyone on here would be celebrating Galloway's win. He pretty much repulses everyone from all the political camps. |  |

Don’t you think that the title to this thread is quite combative and suggests that you think that a few posters ‘love’ Galloway.
Galloway is a vile man who is only motivated by self-interest. Maybe either call out the posters who you think welcome him, or change the title. But it was a silly title to begin with. |  | | |

Agree obviously with you & others about Galloway himself. | |

Read yours 100% well thanks.
I suggest you re-read the post of Bankster's that I was actually replying to.
Or maybe you've taken over my body so I can no longer actually think or feel for myself, but you can do it for me.
Wow - scientific miracle, you'd make a fortune! | |

That you've clearly had an epic fail with here.
Reusersfreekicks picked up my reply to Bankster's unwarranted insult/unpleasant insinuation that I was feeling "thoroughly let down" at being "still waiting for anyone to cheer his election" as though it were a straight reference to the OP, which it very obviously wasn't.
After reading my reply to him, even BD's apologised to me for that unjustified & unfair insinuation he made (unless I've misinterpreted his huggy emoticon), and I'm pretty sure Rfk's was just a genuine late-night mistake in not qualifying his comment with a "re the OP", so I think it's time for you to stop persistently running with the ball that went out of play hours ago. Wasting both your time and mine. This is one of the stupidest "internet comms" arguments on here, ever. | |

I think you've taken some fairly innocuous comments a bit too much to heart.
I also read it as the others have - you said you'd bet a few on here are loving George Galloway's return as an MP, so when they didn't show up it's a fair (exaggerated) comment to say you've been let down that no-one's come to cheer his election.
That was all it was that I can see. You did say those words, and the jokey response shouldn't have been as triggering as it seems to have been. There's nothing wrong with everyone's reading and comprehension if they're all saying the same thing. |  |

It's not really odd. He's a fraud and a charlatan but he was a 'left wing' candidate trying to win a seat held by Labour.
Similarly, the likes of Farage and those further to the right attack the Tories more, whether they are in or out of power.
You'll find you mate Jezza will do the same at the election if he decides to stand as an independent. He'll barely mention the Tories. [Post edited 1 Mar 12:17]

I guess he's the left wing equivalent of Farage, it's not his first attempt at getting elected in an area like this either
I suppose perhaps ironically, he's actually won election as an MP more than Farage has ever managed |  |

What I mean is the specific thing he's having a go at Starmer for is odd. Starmer's not in power, he has very little say over what happens in Gaza. There are plenty of other (some might say legitimate) things to have a pop about. Banging on about how Gaza is somehow Starmer's fault just makes him look like more of an idiot than we already knew. |
In many ways, he's a protest vote against Labour so I guess he is sabre rattling that support base because it's what they want to hear | |

No it wasn't a "fair comment to say you've been let down that no-one's come to cheer his election."
It was an unfair and unwarranted character slur. Can just imagine your reaction if it had been aimed at you. Bankster's apaologised for it & the matter should have rested there instead of a few of you persisting in one of the most ridiculous, timewasting, internet comms arguments ever | |

If you'd read my post properly you'd see I described BDS's comment about you being thoroughly disappointed as being silly but it seems you missed that. You may not have specifically mentioned cheering in your OP but the notion of people cheering Galloway getting elected is very much in the same ballpark as saying people will be loving him getting elected so your confected outrage at being misrepresented is a bit rich to be honest.

Apologised? All he's done is posted a smiling 'hug' emoji. Hardly an apology.
I didn't see it as a slur against your character and I'm surprised you have (and I wouldn't have seen it as a slur on mine either). It's you who has persisted in something ridiculous - you've jumped on an innocuous comment, massively exaggerated what it meant, and now you're lashing out at everyone pointing this out rather than putting the shovel down. | |
