George Galloway (born 16 August 1954) is a British politician, broadcaster, and writer. From 2012 to 2015 he was the Respect Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Bradford West.
After becoming the youngest ever chairman of the Scottish Labour Party in 1981, he became General Secretary of the London-based charity War on Want in 1983, remaining in the post until he was elected as a Labour MP for Glasgow Hillhead at the 1987 general election. From 1997, Galloway represented its successor constituency Glasgow Kelvin, and remained as the MP for the seat until 2005. In October 2003, Galloway was expelled from Labour, having been found guilty by the party's national constitutional committee of four of the five charges of bringing the party into disrepute. Although a number of Labour MPs opposed the Iraq War, Galloway was the only one to be expelled from the party for his statements concerning the conflict.
In 2004, he became a member of Respect – The Unity Coalition, later known as the Respect Party (eventually becoming its leader by late 2013), and was elected as MP for Bethnal Green and Bow at the general election the following year. After unsuccessfully contesting the seat of Poplar and Limehouse in 2010, where he came third, with 17.5% of the vote, he returned to Westminster at the Bradford West by-election in 2012. Galloway was defeated at the 2015 general election, after a campaign in which he was accused of making false statements about the Labour candidate, Naz Shah, and was reported to the police for allegedly breaking election law.
George Gibson Galloway (22 February 1803 (date christened)– 29 August 1867) was an English cricketer. Galloway's batting style is unknown. He was born at Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.
Galloway made his first-class debut for Nottinghamshire against Sussex in 1837. He made two further first-class appearances in that season for Nottinghamshire, against Kent and Sussex. He also made a single first-class appearance in that season for the Gentlemen of Nottinghamshire against the Players of Nottinghamshire. In his four first-class appearances, Galloway scored 17 runs at an average of 2.83, with a high score of 11.
He died at the town of his birth on 29 August 1867.
George Galloway (born 17 November 1949) is the founder, president and CEO of Precision Aerodynamics, Inc. He is most known for creating and distributing the "Raven" series of ram-air parachutes, unique because they were the first ones that could be scaled to different sizes, allowing people of different body weights and types to experience the same performance from the same type of parachute. Raven reserve parachutes are the most widely used reserve canopies in the world, used by the U.S. military for special operations. Galloway has been in the parachute business since 1975 selling to clients ranging from both U.S. and foreign armed forces to high-rise building workers in dangerous areas and in 21 different countries.
A general election is an election in which all or most members of a given political body are chosen. The term is usually used to refer to elections held for a nation's primary legislative body, as distinguished from by-elections and local elections.
In presidential systems, the term refers to a regularly scheduled election where both the president, and either "a class" of or all members of the national legislature are elected at the same time but sometimes refers to special elections held to fill prematurely vacated positions. A general election day may also include elections for local officials.
The elections held to elect the members of the Lok Sabha after expiry of the normal term of five years are called the General Elections. Elections to some State Legislative Assemblies may be held along with the Parliamentary Elections. Earlier up to 1957 simultaneous elections were held for both the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies. However, on account of early dismissal and mid-term elections the two got separated.
The United Kingdom general election of 1906 was held from 12 January to 8 February 1906.
The Liberals, led by Prime MinisterHenry Campbell-Bannerman, won a landslide majority victory in the election. The Conservatives under Arthur Balfour, which had been in government until the month before the election, lost more than half their seats, including Balfour's own seat in Manchester East. The election saw a 5.4% swing from the Conservative Party to the Liberal Party, the largest ever seen at the time. This has resulted in the 1906 General Election being dubbed the 'Liberal landslide', and is now ranked alongside the 1945 and 1997 General Elections as one of the largest landslide election victories.

LBC panelists butt heads over George Galloway's election
Iain Dale's Cross Question panelists embarked on an impassioned debate on who is responsible for the election of newly sworn-in George Galloway, with broadcaster Hashi Mohamed and the Tories' Vicky Ford butting heads.
Panelists branded Mr Galloway as 'repulsive', with Mr Mohamed deeming him a 'parasite'.
Mr Galloway, a former Labour MP, was sworn in by Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle on Monday after storming to victory in the Rochdale by-election last Thursday.
He heavily based his campaign around calls for a Gaza ceasefire, calling the by-election a 'poll on Gaza', and has attacked the two main parties for their positions in the conflict.
