The Expulsion of George Galloway MP

The Campaign for Socialism condemns the expulsion of George Galloway MP for his outspoken views on Iraq.

Rather than bring the Labour Party into disrepute, Galloway's anti war stance and his advocacy of a viable peace in the Middle East has the support of millions of people throughout Britain.

The decision further alienates the Left of the Labour Party and in Scotland in particular, will only offer comfort to Labour's enemies. Nor will the Scottish Labour Left be intimidated or silenced by this decision.

The New Labour Leadership in Scotland and the rest of Britain can only expect intensified opposition to its policies and those whose advocate them.

The Campaign for Socialism supports the call by the The Socialist Campaign Group for an emergency meeting of the NEC to overturn this contemptible decision and reinstate George Galloway with immediate effect.
