Window on Westminster
[RUDAW.NET] All polls were wrong. Everyone thought that it was neck and neck between the two main parties and some inclined, like me, to think the Conservatives would return with the Liberal Democrats. The Conservatives astonished everyone, perhaps themselves included, by securing a major victory and can govern alone. The Liberal Democrats were smashed. The Scottish National Party (SNP) destroyed Labour in Scotland. Labour is a shadow of its former self. Heads have rolled. Its Leader Ed Miliband has resigned, having lost key strategists including the shadow Chancellor and shadow Foreign Minister. Other leaders have gone.Kurds will also be happy to see the back of  George Galloway... a British national embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and terrorists than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle ... whose own indefatigability ended with a dose of self-conceited pomposity as he declared in his concession speech that 'The hyena can bounce on the lion's grave but it can never be a lion and in any case, I'm not in my grave.'
