Rebel MP George Galloway has announced the launch of a new political movement which could change the face of British politics for ever.
The British anti-war movement will turn into a political force to take on Tony Blair’s New Labour in the European elections in June 2004.
The historic announcement was made on Wednesday night in central London where the MP was addressing a rally of the now famous Stop The War movement which has more than two million supporters.
If national backing for the new political version of the movement continues, it will be larger than any political party in the UK with more than two million supporters.
Galloway, a lifelong member of Labour swore British Prime Minister Tony Blair would live to regret his decision in having the Scots-born MP expelled from the party last week.
Now it appears he has kept his word.
