Respect

Mar 30, 2012, 15:44

I keep telling myself that if only New Labour would shake off it's right wing mantle, people would flock back to it. That the near indistinguishableness of the mainstream parties means a seething mass of resentment and anger, mixed with cycnicism and apathy.

Time after time though, people keep proving me wrong.

So it was good to see Respect give the mainstream parties a good hiding.

It was headlined as "Labour Get Trounced" but the Tory and LibDem vote also took a hammering.

The labour candidate blamed the exposire given to Galloway by his appearence on Big Brother.

I had to laugh. The good folks of Bradford West would rather vote for some obnoxious pillock who pretends to be a pussycat on a reality TV programme than him.

By this afternoon, that bit of the BBC's news story seems to have disappeared. The message from labour party HQ was a bit more contrite.

Does this mean some seizmic shift in British politics? I hope so, but I doubt it.
