i meant from before the harlow result. I was showing that it meets the exit poll, although guardian still has 55, maybe they gave harlow to labour already?

Nice one mate! It was much longer and better than the short clip I saw on HIGNFY.

That was easily the best moment of the night.. I have read a fair bit about george galloway, and TBH, if I typed my opinion of him, it would be libellous.

Paxman goes up another few notches in my estimation

Showed <insert expletive here> up for the sort of person he really is.

OK, it was 165 majority out of 659 seats in the House of Commons including the Speaker. Boundary revisons applied in Scotland, which has had its allocation reduced from 72 to 59 being 13 seats less.

It is expected that the Labour gain from the 2005 election will be 66. Yes, ok we know that many seats were lost.

Also, the whole election tourbus thing throughout the campaign, the swingometer thing, the great presenters who knew what they're talking about. Congratulations beeb, some really good quality reporting there.

They could have done with more on-screen info like Sky had, when flicking or going to make a drink I found it hard to see which areas had already come in. Sky's vidi (sp??)printer was great for that!

I saved it in Media Player in a playlist. Perhaps you can convert it from whichever media player you save it on.

Why? That would mean you know your opinion of him is untrue. The main defence against libel is that your accusations are true. So, if you think they're true, they aren't libellous, so let's hear them. You've heard my opinion of him*.

*
Negative:
Up himself. Too left wing. Womaniser. Bit too keen on moustachioed dictators, although there's no evidence he actually supported Saddam's activities in the way, say, the US and UK governments did in the 1980s. In terms of effective political activity a zero (check the number of votes Respect got nationwide - it was about 1/3 of the votes the BNP got). Failed to condemn human rights abuses in Bangladesh despite standing in a constiuency with a large Bangladeshi community - check Private Eye 1129 for details of his recent visit there.

Positive:
Right about the war. Libelled by the Telegraph, won his case. Badly smeared by MI6 and their pet press people. Right about giving British Muslims a voice they've hitherto not had (considering that lack of representation tends to lead to revolt, e.g. the American War of Independence, the Suffragettes).

Sorry, but Paxman went down a hell of a lot in *my* estimation.

Starting off with a blatantly loaded "attack" question like that was sheer pettiness and then trying to repeat it several times was pathetic and then finally saying "congratulations" in sarcastic tones was no way to conduct an interview.

IMO George Galloway was quite right to take Paxman to task for it and he was also quite right to walk out when it was clear that JP had no intention of conducting a reasonable interview.

When are the Tories going to learn what Labour learned?

You can only get back to power by appealing to people who DON'T usually vote for you

Theresa May would be a much better choice.

Yes, I can see her bringing votes in from people who've never voted Tory before.

Galloway is a prat. Its a shame paxman didnt give him a harder question instead of one he can easily get out of. If he asked about driving out a jewish MP it may have been better due to Galloways campain
