		That is why Galloway, who represented a Glasgow seat in the House of Commons from 1987 until Parliament was dissolved for the election, chose the area, and why he says he has a real chance of victory.

		Leading UK electoral analysts speculate that Muslim electoral clout in the UK is on the rise.

		The race quickly became a two-sided battle, as Galloway stood against Labour M.P. Oona King, a Black Jewish woman, who was first elected to parliament in 1997 and increased her majority during her reelection in 2001.

	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Election 2005 \| Galloway's East End street fight
		Former Labour firebrand George Galloway's vehement anti-war stance was always going to be one of the highlights of the 2005 general election.
		Many observers thought that this race was too close to call; if Mr Galloway was relying on the Muslim vote, the question was whether he could persuade the solidly working class Labour section of this community to come on board.
		Mr Galloway raised the temperature at that first clash by accusing the government of being part of a "war on Muslims".

	George Galloway under attack for Big Brother pranks
		Galloway, who is the one and only MP for the anti-war Respect party he formed after parting ways with Labour, was evicted from the show by TV voters late Wednesday after 21 days in the celebrity house.
		During that time, the 51-year-old Scotsman became the object of ridicule after he was seen impersonating a cat lapping imaginary milk from the hands of an actress, dancing in a tight red leotard and having furious rows with fellow inmates.
		Galloway said he had not been paid his parliamentary salary while he was on Big Brother - something he had been unable to tell anyone before entering the house.

		George Galloway's hopes to use his residency in the Big Brother house to denounce the Iraq war and Tony Blair may be thwarted after Channel 4 vowed he would not be allowed to use the show as a soapbox.
		Mr Galloway, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in east London, tried to head off criticism that he was letting his constituents down by devoting up to three weeks appearing in the show, by saying he was trying to bring politics and his ideals to an audience who are usually uninterested.
		Mr Galloway won his seat by appealing to Muslim voters in the area who were angry at Labour for joining in the invasion of Iraq.

		May 18, 2005 9:59:25 AM I have loved Galloway for a while now....and yesterday was his finest moment (along with his insulting of chris hitchens on the way in to testify).
		The first thing she said was, "Galloway's a nutter." Apparently on one of his visits with Saddam Hussein, he was quoted as saying, "I salute your indefatigability, sir" (apologies if I misspelled that).
		Galloway is much better than he makes him out to be and the people of his constituency did not vote for him because he's a good showman, but because he offered a leftwing alternative to the three main parties.

		Galloway had taken money from Iraq for personal profit, we can see no basis upon which this court could interfere with the amount of damages," The Associated Press quoted the judges as saying in their ruling.
		Galloway was unable to respond to any of Wednesday's developments, as he was appearing on "Celebrity Big Brother," which prevents him from having contact with anyone outside the show.
		While he was on the show, Galloway missed a House of Commons debate on a proposal to build a new underground rail line through London that was said to have "direct consequences" for his constituency.

	Austin Bay Blog » Terror’s Lord Haw Haw: George Galloway
		Galloway described the insurgents as “ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons,” but who were still managing to defeat the world’s only superpower.
		Galloway’s remarks, contained in a series of interviews broadcast by three Arab television stations after a recent visit he made to Syria, were more provocative than the comments that led to his expulsion from the Labor Party in 2003.
		Galloway said at the height of the American-led invasion in March 2003: “Iraq is fighting for all the Arabs.

	George Galloway \| MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		May 6, 2005 6:18 AM Highlight of the election coverage: George Galloway is the leader of Respect and won a historic and unexpected victory against the Blairite Oona King, on an anti-war ticket.
		King's voting record may be one of extreme loyalty to the Labour whip (although Galloway was actually quite an infrequent rebel before he was kicked out, after which he barely ever turned up to vote), but she was hardly one of the most rabid cheerleaders for the war.
		Galloway went to that constituency because it had a large Muslim population who were against the war.

		Right now a big issue in his constituency is at the council housing in Tower Hamlets, where Respect is fighting for the right of the residents to keep local control of their housing.
		Galloway got elected largely because of his statements against the war, and in that sense he is fulfilling the mandate the voters gave him - speaking out loudly against the war any chance he gets.
		Galloway tends to claim that he is representing his constituents by 'spreading the word' on Iraq and Palestine, the issues he was elected on.

	UK's Galloway in row over "Big Brother" TV show
		Incensed, Galloway flew to Washington and, in a memorable performance, harangued a Senate committee as he vehemently denied all the claims against him and attacked the U.S. decision to invade Iraq.
		Mr Galloway said his participation would be "good for politics" and he believed that politicians should use "every opportunity" to communicate with people.
		But local residents in his Bethnal Green and Bow constituency have staged a protest outside his office in east London accusing him of abandoning his responsibilities and demanding he give back his MP's pay for the time he is in the house.

	BatesLine: Jeremy Paxman v. George Galloway -- wish they both could lose
		Galloway was elected for the Respect Party, a party that opposes Britain's involvement in the war in Iraq.
		Galloway was implicated by documents discovered in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein suggesting that he had been on Saddam's payroll, receiving funds diverted from the corrupt Oil for Food program.
		Here's how Paxman began the interview: "Are you proud of having driven out one of the few fl women in Parliament?" Galloway refused to answer such a loaded question, but Paxman persisted, and Galloway terminated the interview after Paxman called him a demagogue.

		LONDON – Maverick British parliamentarian George Galloway, who famously attacked the war in Iraq during a feisty performance in the U.S. Senate, is at the centre of a new row.
		Jim Fitzpatrick, a London Member of Parliament in Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor party, accused Galloway, in a statement, of being a 'C-list politician with an A-list ego' who had chosen a 'celebrity graveyard' over his constituents.
		In his defence, the cigar-chomping Galloway and his Respect party said his time in the Big Brother house – where he cannot speak to anyone outside or hear any external news – will allow him to get his message across to a huge viewing public.

	Indigo Jo Blogs: George Galloway takes some more time out
		His election was the result of a protest vote against the war of which he was a scathing and outspoken critic.
		So all those pointing out the inadequacies of his attendance record in parliament, or indeed his private life, are missing the point.
		Perhaps now whoever voted Galloway in on a single issue may realise what a futile exercise it was as he has furthered the anti-war cause not one jot.

		George Galloway claimed it was to promote and increase interest in politics among the mostly young audience.
		The main arguement people had against his appearance in the show was that he was out of touch with the people he was supposed to be representing and he was absent for several major votes in the UK parliament.
		Galloway, and the legions of other politicians infesting the civilised world actually do if they can afford to spend their time pretending to be small animals?

		However, the European Parliament press office has made available to UK Gay News “unofficial” excerpts in English of some on the speeches made in other languages.
		The main political groups have found agreement on a common approach, which apparently includes their shared wish for a broader European legislation which offers equal protection to discrimination on any ground, as well as the need to monitor cases of hate crime in all EU member states.
		On the eve of the European Parliament’s debate on homophobia, the International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) has announced that two Brits, one openly gay and the other heterosexual, has agreed to be “Ambassadors” for the Paris-based organisation.

		Galloway was quoted as saying an attack on Blair that caused no other casualties would be a justifiable response to Britain's support for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
		The politician left the UK on Friday night but was refused entry into the country and was held all night in a cell, according to his spokesman.
		Galloway, the flamboyant left-wing socialist and antiwar critic also known as “Gorgeous George,” has always been a bit of a showstopper — reputedly fond of fancy suits and limousines as he pursued egalite for the masses — but he has outperformed himself this time.
