He is a total opportunist and I've never believed he actually meant anything he campaigned about. I've met him a couple of times, I really dont like him. I myself am to the extreme left of Trotsky, I'm not a stalinist, which Galloway is. Well, he is sometimes, sometimes he isnt. Anyway
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway As you can see the Iraq oil scandal he's currently involved in isnt the first time his cashflow has been questioned. As for standing up for his beliefs...
'According to "They Work For You.com" (http://www.theyworkforyou.com), as of May 6th, 2005*, George Galloway had:
* Spoken in 0 debates in the last year — tied for last, out of 659 MPs.
* Asked 0 written questions in the last year — in a large multi-way tie for last, out of 659 MPs.
* Attended 3% of votes in parliament — 649th out of 657 MPs.
* In the 1997–2001 parliament Galloway voted against the majority of his party in 5 votes out of 665 (0.8%), and in the following Parliament prior to his expulsion from Labour, did so in 27 votes out of 209 (12.9%).

He is an untrustworthy, self interested, knob.
