<P>How anyone can describe Galloway as "reactionary" is beyond me. (Any evidence
for this assertion?)<BR>He is certainly an egoist, very patchy in his views and
opportunistically cuddles up to religious muslims who are an important part of
his political basis but he vehemently opposes recent wars and is famed for
cutting anti-capitalist rhetoric and declarations for socialism.<BR><BR>Moreover
his acceptance speech after being elected last night was an absolute model of
how to appeal to Labour's grassroots from the left.<BR>See for
yourselves:<BR><BR><A

7:46<BR>> Subject: Galloway wins Bradford<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> The
victory for George Galloway in the Bradford by election is a real
suprise<BR>> He's an anti woman, religious reactionary.But thats not what
people have voted for.<BR>> Labour ( and from what I'm told some elements of
the trade unions) are v reactionary in Bradford. The politics of the large ( but
not majority by any means) muslim community have been enmeshed with
Labour.Clearly Galloway has made a big appeal there. Anti war issues are
important but so is unemployment and this foul government<BR>> All that
aside, a left alternative to Labour has been elected overwhelmingly,trouncing
all the other parties<BR>> the times they are a changing.... and lets
remember our comrade Pat who was a socialist MP for Bradford back in the day.
