You don't have to like his lefty politics to appreciate his skill as an orator. He is undoubtedly an asset to the Leave campaign. (Sorry to keep harking back to Scotland 2014, but Galloway was, by a country mile, the most impressive speaker at the single most informative of all the TV debates. He tied wee nippy in knots. It was beautiful to watch).

Sadly the Leavers seem determined to put ideological purity ahead of actually winning the vote.
Galloway is very unpopular though. The Leavers would do better to put calm, moderate and intelligent people forward as the face of their campaign rather than people like Galloway! If you're going to have a debate where one side are the likes of David Cameron and Alan Johnson and the other side consists of Farage and Galloway then you're going to look like the fruitcake campaign.

Galloway is a skill orator but who does he convince? Plus at some point he'll probably claim the EU is some sort of Zionist conspiracy and you would have that to deal with.

May is backing IN and so is Sajid Javid. The latter is a big bigger because he is definitely not a fan of Europe.
