Anything less than a second place for George Galloway will be taken as an almost personal insult. Let the good people of Bradford West be warned!

When will we most likely have a result?

I'm very ambiguous. Yeah, George Galloway isn't the best man ever to walk the earth's surface, but in general I'm a great fan of Faustian-Facetious politicians and Galloway still is the man who really gave it to Norm Coleman. But Labour losing here could give the government a break, as YL remarks, and could have some bad effects within the Labour Party. So if Labour could win by a couple of dozens to hundred votes and a score in the low forties (with the ConDem parties being humiliated), that'd be just dandy.

Hmmm, seriously debating staying up for this now, even with an early morning tomorrow.

Twitter seems to now have accepted a Galloway win for a fact, but then, some people on twitter also seem to think that he got 75% of the Postal Vote, which sounds very unprobable.

Some people on twitter already whining about 'the inept leadership'.

Twitter sez 50.92% turn-out. Hardly a 'victory for political apathy', is it?

Can I suggest than that could be prevented if Labour did the right thing and took a strance against Afghanistan War after they lost power?

Yeah, but wouldn't the ensueing intraparty civil war  have hurt them a lot in all of those other non-muslim majority constituencies?
