The Lion Roars Again: George Galloway takes Rochdale
George Galloway has won the Rochdale by-election with 12,335 votes.
The Workers Party of Great Britain candidate overturned a Labour majority in the Greater Manchester seat.
The irrepressible lion of the left, George Galloway, has conquered Rochdale in a landslide victory that will send tremors through the halls of Westminster. This tireless titan and scourge of the political establishment stormed to triumph on a platform of hope, proudly raising the banner of “democratic socialism”The Workers Party” in this former Labour stronghold.
The neoliberal hordes that have bled Rochdale dry with austerity will shudder at Galloway’s advance. His Workers Party offers a stirring vision to transform the ravaged town through massive investment in jobs, homes and infrastructure. The people have embraced a true alternative to revitalise their community and restore its ravaged pride.
Galloway is no ordinary politician but a rare maverick, a man of fiery principle and penetrating intellect. His experience is unmatched and his fearless articulation of uncomfortable truths has won him a mammoth following. With MOATS.TV, he brings searing political analysis to hundreds of thousands, speaking directly to the disillusioned masses abandoned by the out-of-touch establishment.
The arrogant political class have long sneered at this tireless titan, whose stalwart principles tower over their shallow opportunism. But the wise folk of Rochdale have spied a golden opportunity to be represented by a politician of passion, perspicacity and pugnacity. They know Galloway’s grit and guile can shake awake the slumbering socialists and speak bold unvarnished truth to power.
Where craven Labour’s credibility lies in ruins, exposed as cynical cowards, Galloway comes off the ropes roaring, his left hook primed to hammer home their failings. Truly, his advance heralds the winds of change.
A pillar of Galloway’s campaign was staunch support for the people of Palestine and Gaza, an issue dear to the hearts of Rochdale’s large Muslim population. But one need not be Muslim to grasp the injustice of collective punishment and slaughter of innocents – it is a universal human rights issue. Galloway has never flinched from speaking out against the atrocities inflicted on the Palestinian people while the political establishment bites its tongue.
His brave stance against illegal occupations and war crimes contrasts with the cowardly capitulation of many politicians on this burning international issue. Galloway understands that true leadership requires the courage to speak difficult truths, not simply parrot the platitudes of the powerful. His refreshing moral clarity resonated widely in Rochdale.
While some disingenuously seek to dismiss advocacy for oppressed Palestinians as Israel’s right to self-defence, (yes, it seemed silly writing that over 30,000 civilian casualties somehow is self-defence.) Galloway’s position rests on higher principles. His advocacy stems not from sectarian interests but belief in fundamental human rights. The media may try to smear this stance as controversial, but the controversy stems from their complicity in glossing over state terror.
By giving voice to the voiceless, Galloway demonstrated that progressive leaders can break taboos around Israel-Palestine. His bold empathy for the victims of aggression over the sensibilities of the aggressors shows the power of principled leadership. The people of Rochdale recognised these rare qualities, propelling Galloway to victory.
Rochdale now has the chance to make history, spurning the robe-wearing catamites of the establishment and embracing real radical change. In Galloway, they have a champion whose fiery principles and towering integrity can shake Westminster to its foundations. The hour has come to rally to the standard of George Galloway!
There’s no knocking this new Workers Party. Galloway has now opened the doors of Parliament to give voice to the voiceless. What we can be sure of is that this political prizefighter will soon fill the Commons benches with more of his Party. Together, they will advance the cause of democratic socialism against the forces of reaction.
We all await the naysayers and those that cry foul…
