Why Corbyn Won and George Galloway Lost
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Some lessons from the results of the latest general election, where we see good news and bad. Corbyn winning as independent was a welcome result considering that the establishment wanted him gone. The loss of Galloway is a little more complex.
brilliant video agree 100 % with your analysis, but one correction you dont have to be a councillor before to then become an mp, you can have no previous political experience and still run and be elected to be an mp
Ahh, you're right, my bad. I must have read it somewhere and taken it out of context. Anyone can stand as candidate for an MP with the 10 nominations and the £500 deposit fee.
@@kjsingh4494 Its because serving as a local councillor then standing for mp is a common route into national politics - to get elected as a councillor it helps to have the support of the party machine for whatever party you stand for (leaflet production, political experience, local data, doorstepping volunteers, hustings organisation) and its a route into getting voter support - the election campsigning processes are essentially the same so its like a training ground. It isnt a requirement.
Jeremy had a massive ground swell of support, young and old, in his community. He is also appreciated so much that people came far and wide to campaign on the ground.
His social media campaign was also brilliant and funny, so it appealed to younger voters ❤
100%
corbyn and all the people on these marches were nowhere to be seen when saudis killed far more people in yemen....anti Semitic feelings which have been around for centuries and fuelled by these people...they don't care about the Palestinians if they did they would have had the same outrage for the people of yemen
Thats only parially the reason GG lost. Craig Murray also lost and he doesnt have the hard gender views that GG has and he’s a gentle man (like Jeremy)
@@josephfredbill Yes its multifaceted. But not many know about Craig Murray. Its an uphill battle for name recognition
You guys desperately need a proportional electoral system. I am from New Zealand. We used to have an electoral system almost identical to the British one. In the 1990s we adopted a proportional system and now third parties are viable and the risk of vote splitting does not exist. And electoral outcomes make a lot more sense.
100% proportional representation is closer to a genuine democracy
NZ electoral system is certainly better than UK's, but it still has a first past the post system in the electorates. If that were replaced by the Australian preferential voting system, that would be better still...
@@user-zt4jy9xn3z Certainly, preferential voting is the next step of electoral reform for us.
I completely agree with you!
I agee with Mr Signh's analysis. But if I may correct one thing - there is no compulsion for a candidate standing for Parliament to be a Councillor. Admittedly, many MPs have first been Councilors - but many have not. For example:
* Sunak entered Parliament in the 2015 General Election having first worked as an investment banker.
* Starmer entered Parliament in 2015 having previously worked as DPP
* Tony Blair entered Parliament having first been a Barrister
* Dr Rosena Allyn Khan became an MP hving previously worked as a doctor for the NHS
There are numerous other examples of MPs who were formerly soldiers, journalists, teachers, bankers, pilots, businessmen, charity workers etc, etc.
@@timelwell7002 This is true, thanks for the correction and taking time to provide examples. I will pin this comment so people arent misled by the accidental misinfo!
GG is always great MP or not MP !
Thank you for your reporting
Galloway is more of the union man
Corbyn is very much in favour of unions.
Prolly Gordon Brown would have been a good PM, had Nick Clegg coalitioned with him...am sure we wouldn't have been here...!!! In this bloody mess
3:41 Blackrock manages a $10 trillion portfolio. It bought/plundered 40% of Ukraine State assets, underwritten by the EU. Some say this is what 600,000 Ukrainian solders and still counting, for.
Less than one thousands Ukrainian casualties... and the UK's,
own debt is nearing three trillion to US investment firms.
Is it because Corbyn is a good guy with love in his heart and a proven decades long history of HUMAN DECENCY whereas Galloway, also a man of principle and consistency over the decades is a poisonous, self promoting chancer?
If Galloway wasn't so bl00dy toxic and so utterly foul he could be such an effective force for good. I admire much about him, he's knowledgable, fearless and could destroy ANYONE in the HOC in a debate but I wouldn't trust him to tell me the time stood beneath Big Ben.
Sadly he'll never change, its too late and he's too old..... It's a shame to a degree as its a waste of ability.
Self promoting chancer! Why money?
I like Galloways takes on imperialism, but your overall assessment is correct. Corbyn is more of a people person and is driven purely by humanitarian justice and inclusion. Galloway may be a little divisive depending on the subject.
@@kjsingh4494 100%, spot on
@@James-872maybe but compared to Starmer and Sunak he is beaked of principle and integrity.
I did comment to GG that to win you must promise 2 things, scrape the TV Licence and the Council Tax. Why doesn't an candidate take up this offer? It is the winning ticket.😂
Haha, sounds good in theory, might run into issues in practice 😅
Your Mum wants her iPad back now.... School Holidays or not, you're gonna have to find some other way to entertain yourself.
Good that Labour got in??? bigger tories than the tories. Blair already giving Kier his orders.
I meant its good that the greens and independents won. Labour are better than Tories on some issues, but they are still a near carbon copy of them, and we need a broad left coalition to remove them from power, partly or completely.
When it comes to Palestine it is potentially a much broader coalition than the Greens and the independents. If you go back to the vote on the SNP amendment in November, it is also the SNP who still have 9 seats - as many as the Greens and independents combined. Plus Plaid Cymru the SDLP and APNI, and an assortment of Labour rebels such as Jess Phillips and Diane Abbot. But largest of all in the current Parliament there are 72 Lib Dems - including the 15 who were in the last Parliament and who all voted for the SNP amendment last November..
This is true. There's more potential for a bigger bloc with the inclusion of SNP, LD, Cymru etc
spot on
Kj ! Your assessment of g.g. is not correct.!
@@km99999 Please explain
100% correct. Corbyn is universally loved by ordinary people, because he is recognised as being totally authentic by all those who have had a chance to get to know him, as the people of Islington do. No amount of billionaire sponsored propaganda can pull the wool over those people's eyes. Galloway is rightly viewed with suspicion, due to his unnecessary and divisive flirtation with culture war issues. I hope he notes this and changes course, because on many other issues he is very strong advocate.
We need to avoid cult of personalities be it galloway or corbyn tbh ... The policy set comes first . The notion systemic change is a possibility is the focus
why was jc wiped out in 2019 witha record low vote which was more than starmer in 2024 which has never been discussed by msm in2019 jc was trashed as not been patriotic loves foreigners too much
Division of voters between Green, Workers Party and Independents is consolidating the victory for Loabour or Tories albeit with a less percentage!!!! Regarding Foreign Policy about Gaza and Palestine; Green was never as specific and vociferous as George Galloway. It’s a matter of irony that Galloway lost a seat he he won four months ago quite handsomely your fail to explain.
Left needs to embrace MMT.
@@user-zt4jy9xn3z Modern Monetary System is the only way. I may do videos on this soon
I'm on the left and I'll be embracing DMT at the first available opportunity.
You mean Keynesian economics
MMT derives from Keynesian economics. Look up StephanieKelton's book "The Deficit Myth".@James-872
You are misinformed on a few things. 1) You do not have to be a councillor before becoming an MP. 2) Galloway, while I was sad he lost his seat, might well have lost my vote if I lived in his constituency because, I have been told, he "wants to stop people arriving by small boats", claiming there is Too much immigration. Also, the SNP, the only Main party that opposes the Genocide in Gaza, was almost wiped out, mainly because Nicola Sturgeon could not answer weather or not Isla Bryson, a convicted double rapist was a man or a women. Israel has shown that Identity politics can be an excuse for bad behaviour, and Trans rites activist remind of Zionists in so many ways. You say there should be a discussion, then be prepared to HAVE THAT DISCUSSION!
The SNP lost a third of their vote share and a large majority of their MPs despite support for Scottish independence remaining high. But I'm not sure how much of that loss was due to trans rights, how much to scandal and how much to dumping the pact with the Greens. Agree with you re Galloway far too close to Putin for me. But was the SNP position on Gaza very different from the Lib Dems?
Why do the silly voice to blanket denigrate older generations?
