The state apparatus and the media - who have politicians in their pockets - will be working overtime to ensure the two party system endures.

Expect more and more scaremongering and scapegoating.

Problem is, Grim, that the mob or its supporters used the ballot box.

Just in case we are interpreting differently what I posted, I’m stating Galloway just wants to shout and sow discord everywhere, and is just a single-term MP (at how many different constituencies now?) who stands for election at every single opportunity anywhere - he is not interested in his constituents or what they believe, he is just a self-promoting ideologue who will do nothing of note besides try to attract attention to himself…

Agreed, the other parties should consider getting him onboard as an advisor as he's so much better at reading the mood of the voters than they are :shocked:.

Agreed. But he's dangerous nevertheless because of the people he's stirred up in Rochdale and elsewhere.

Totally agree - nothing worse than politicians stirring up antipathy to others and stirring discord just to further their own aims, rather than trying to achieve things to help the country.
