"George Galloway's Impact on British Politics: Shifting Muslim Support and Labour's Challenge"
The voting patterns of British Muslims, who make up 6% of the population, have been shifting since the outbreak of the Gaza war, with Labour's support among this group dropping from around 75% to 65%. George Galloway's recent victory in Rochdale, targeting the Muslim vote with a pro-Palestine campaign, highlights this trend. However, the impact on the next election is likely to be limited, as the decline in support is divided among other parties and the geographical distribution of Muslim voters favors Labour in general elections.
