Blair Wins Third Term; Majority Reduced Over Iraq War


AMY GOODMAN: Finally, we only have 30 seconds, but more on the victory of George Galloway, who was expelled from the Labour Party, as well as the man who voted against Blair, who lost his son in Iraq.

TARIQ ALI: This was the high point of the election. The Labour leadership had expended a great deal of energy in sending its top people to campaign against George Galloway. Hitchens and other right wing journalists in the British media had been denouncing Galloway. And his victory was a tremendous triumph for the anti-war movement. And Galloway immediately dedicated this victory to the people of Iraq and to the people who had been killed and said it was payback time for Blair. So, it will be very good to have him back in Parliament, agitating and arguing against the war and demanding a rapid British withdrawal.

There are some other lefties from the 60's and 70's in Washington that are now called by a different name.
