it's definitely a good thing that the far right candidates did very poorly.
also good that those voted for ukip/brexit party last time don't appear to have gone over wholesale to the conservatives, may have stayed at home.
the galloway thing is more concerning, but he failed in his stated aim of getting a tory in, so hope that shuts him up for a while |  |

Agreed worrying that for every 3 who voted Labour another 2 voted for a lefty loon. |  |

I don't think you can call Galloway a lefty loon. Part of his campaign was trying to attract the anti-LGBT vote. He'll just say whatever he thinks his core support (Asian Muslims) want to hear.
I'm quite worried he'll turn up in Tower Hamlets next if one of our local MPs is convicted (she is in court this month). It could get very unpleasant indeed as there is already a fair amount of resentment against the Labour Party amongst the Bangladeshi community due to the current leadership both nationally and locally (this goes back to Lutfur Rahman being kicked out). |  | | |

Indeed. Politics can be a complicated beast. Is it possible, in that case, Galloway actually attracted potential Tory voters?
Regardless of whether he is left or right, I think most can agree that Galloway is a loon and that it is worrying that so many are prepared to vote for him. |  |
