Vote bank politics in Britain…
From Galloway’s Sensational ‘Bradford Spring’ Win:
George Galloway has inflicted a crushing humiliation on Labour as he made a sensational political comeback in a by-election he termed the “Bradford Spring”.
The controversial Respect politician won a stunning victory in the Bradford West by-election, defeating Labour by more than 10,000 votes.
The Tories were pushed into third place after the Budget backlash and fuel chaos, while the Liberal Democrats came fourth.
But it was Labour and their leader Ed Miliband who were left stunned and perplexed by the scale of their defeat and Mr Galloway’s victory.
Mr Galloway took over 55% of the vote share – double that of Labour, which lost around 20%.
In his victory speech, Mr Galloway invoked the series of uprisings that have toppled dictatorships across the Arab world as he called his victory the “Bradford Spring”.
He told Sky News that the poll was “the most sensational result in British by-election history”.
“Labour has been hit by a tidal wave in a seat it held for many decades in a city it dominated for 100 years,” he said.
His aggressive, anti-war campaign in Bradford West, in which he personally targeted Imran Hussein, infuriated Labour campaign chiefs.
Mr Galloway directly appealed to Muslim voters, who make up nearly 40% of the electors in the constituency.

I look forward to Sharia Law… This is what Gandhi, Nehru, envisaged and it shall come, slowly but for sure will come or we shall have a new nation for muslims gnawing the territorial area of Bharat. The likes of Sanjeev, Salil, FTI etc should be happy.

After following for quite few years, I no more feel pained by any statistics based on 2001 census data. I’m more worried about what 2011 census will reflect, which will be the reflection of current time. I’ve personally seen so many changes in the demographics of the society in each of the cities where i’ve been living in for the past one decade, and I can assure its not a good sight. I can confidently say that muslims have ceased to be minorities in India and christians are well on their way. Lets look forward to 2011 census, hopefully it won’t give free hands to these peace loving people to impose special taxes on non-believers in India.
