Council Leader Ian Greenwood loses his Little Horton seat after 17 years
6:00am Friday 4th May 2012 in Bradford

Bradford Council was left leaderless today as Ian Greenwood lost his Little Horton seat after 17 years preventing Labour from taking overall control for the first time since 1999.
It took four recounts before the Labour leader finally accepted defeat by the tiny margin of just 17 votes to the Respect candidate, Alyas Karmani.
With his seat the last to declare, Labour needed just one more victory to put it in the driving seat.
In the event, it was left with 45 seats – an increase of two – but exactly half of the 90 seats on the Council, meaning that it will have to form an alliance with another party to stay in power.
However, Labour may yet have an ace up its sleeve because Councillor Imdad Hussain – who was not up for re-election this time – was suspended by the Regional Labour Party from his Heaton seat before the election after it emerged he had been disqualified as a company director for seven years after his company went into liquidation last year.
He is currently listed as an “Independent” councillor and the Labour party apparently believes that he will continue to vote with the party whether or not he is reinstated following the current investigation into his situation.
Before yesterday’s ballot of one third of the Council, the Green party had held the balance and – if Labour can’t rely on Imdad Hussain – may well do again but that will be a decision for whoever the Labour party chooses as its new leader.
Even if they failed to turn George Galloway’s “Bradford Spring” into Greenwood’s Labour Dawn, the party made enough gains on the back of the national wave of protests against the Coalition’s austerity measures to keep Respect from holding the balance of power.
Respect had put up candidates in 12 Bradford seats with George Galloway confidently predicting up to eight gains. In the event, they took just five.
The results meant that Respect’s hopes of the Bradford West by-election result bouncing them into a position where they held the balance of power turned as cold as the forecast for the bank holiday weekend weather.
The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats each finished the night with three fewer seats, on 24 and eight seats respectively, with the Greens remaining on three and five seats in the hands of independents.
Coun Greenwood said: "I am sad to lose obviously but I've been a politican for very many years and some elections you win and some you lose.
"The people can deliver you in to office and they can take that away, and I think all politicians should treat that with the humility that's appropriate.
"From the moment the by-election result was declared it was clear to me that I had a fight on my hands. I've never taken it for granted - I fought a hard campaign and it was unsucessful.
"The issue I have with this situation is that Mr Galloway and his colleagues have made an awful lot of promises, particularly to young people in the district, that I am not convinced they are going to be able to deliver and that bodes ill for the future in my view."
The result saw Respect's Alyas Karmani poll 2,191 votes followed by Coun Greenwood on 2,174.
Elsewhere, the next Lord Mayor of Bradford, Wharfedale Councillor Dale Smith, polled 2,252 votes, with Labour’s Dave Allen his closest rival with 694. Coun Smith said: “I am delighted. I had not assumed I would win as there is always a tension in local elections.” He said voters in Wharfedale were “anxious” about protecting the green belt from development, adding: “We recognise the need for affordable housing but we are concerned about the connectivity with places where there are jobs in Leeds and Bradford.”

Previously, Party affiliation was affected by class. Now, at least in Bradford, it appears affected by ethnicity. A new type of politics is dawning in Bradford and it is something our political leaders will have to take note of.

That's the main good news - no chance of a rogue yielding one man power over a large budget.
As for Respect, they're a yet another here today gone tomorrow party.

theres been segregagtion in bradford for decades with complete areas, housing etc etc divided amongst racial lines, not that Respect is an asain only party as clearly people from all backgrounds are voting. ive never vote din my life but for hte first time i felt compelled to vote, and yes i voted respect. why? because i want change, i dont want my children growing up in apartheid with sub standard schooling and health services, and im pretty sure many others voted for change for the same reason. As always Albion, you remain an ignorant hate mongerer.

Respect have gained 5 seats and don't, and won't, hold the balance of power. To expect Respect to ‘deliver’ anything from the position of a small minority group is setting up a straw man. After 17 years as a Councillor Mr Greenwood knows that only too well.
If this ‘Mr G’ (G2) really does want to test the G1's supporters’ dedication to the cause of youth in Bradford, let him press his extant Labour Council colleagues to offer Respect a high profile post in a Youth focussed Directorate.
Then, G2, we will be able to start to judge if Respect, at a local level, is more than a rag-bag of opportunist G1 wagon jumpers.

Turn around and blame everybody else. The problem in every other racial community in Bradford has integrated, and respected the culture of the country they have chosen to become part of. Many years ago the council had a policy of integration through schools, ensuring children from all areas were taught together which had an impact On funding for other areas of education. This ended because the minority did not want it!

Having heard the bloke who beat Greenwood talking in vague generalisations about what he's going to do for the youth of Bradford without any specific policies, I suspect there's disappointment on the way.

I dont agree with a lot of what Galloway says, and I definitely dont like the way he goes about things sometimes, but if he can get Bradford spoken about as a place that is moving forward, he cannot be anything but good.
The acid test is the next six months. Since his election, he's made some bold statements regarding the Odeon, Westfield, and the two professional sports clubs. Lets see how he does. Out of those four 'projects' if he gets two of them up and running, he will have done more for this city than many politicians who were born and bred Bradfordians, have in the last 20 years. There isnt now an election campaign to win, the parliamentary seat and council seats are decided, so lets see how respect make a difference. If they dont, you can say "we told you so!" if they do we all win! so for the doom mongers who dont like respect and Galloway, you cant lose!

Bradford was ground breaking in Education - yet again To even out some of the glaring injustices in a range of issues, including Socio-economic (Class), it introduced busing in the 1970s.
Who screamed and shouted, 'dh'?
Was it the parents who 'chose' to live in rotten housing, with their children in derelict inner City schools?
Did they complain that they had to traipse, by public transport, to leafy suburbs and modern buildings, for Parents' evenings?
NBL !
It was the vocal parents of the self pampering classes who had made sure that their children had the best of the best, at the expense of the hoi polloi mill fodder.
Why people live where they do, or have to live where they do, is a much more complex issue than you disingenuously try to portray, dh.

He noted that throughout history, minorities have *always* banded together in groups, and lived near each other. Also while there were instances of forced segregation, most of it seemed to be self imposed, and for reasons of community and mutual support. It may not be PC but if that's what people want to do, and they have a choice, it's up to them.

George Galloway is indeed a very astute man. He was aware of a significant number of Bradford West's population that did not have any political affiliation, and who were ripe for the picking. Yes, many of these were people of Asian origin, mostly Muslim, but do not be fooled into thinking that only Muslims vote respect! There is a saying "in a democracy, the people get the politicians they deserve." That is only too true here in Bradford, it's just that one man had the intelligence to try and engage with people who previously felt that nobody spoke for them. Time will tell if Galloway and respect are here today, gone tomorrow.

The wise populace of Bradford have spoken, and rejected this anti democratic move to a Dictatorship.
We've seen how the people of Little Horton, on the four year cycle, ousted G2 (Ex Councillor, ex Labour Group leader, ex Council leader) Mr Greenwood.
Every year the ruling Political Party elect their 'First amongst Equals, to act de facto, as a City Mayor, for ONE YEAR.
That system has some element of Democracy about it.
Not giving one person ALL the power and marginalizing our Councillors even more than the Centralist Tories and their Big Business trough sharing snouters do with everything they can get their trotters on.
We Bradfordians stand proud today, waving the flag of support for the Road to True Democracy, yet again.

There is a great element of incompetence, inexperience, laziness, lack of skill, too many outside interests, etc, involved in what you correctly highlight.
Taking the example of most organizations:
The 'Chair' is elected, the CEO - appointed.
The Board - a mixture of NEDs, and Execs, makes Policy - the Executive brings it about.
If the Execs don't, or more seriously won't, they are 'Asked to leave.'
The dog wags the tail !
Is it possible that you are suggesting that lilly livered elected Portfolio holders on OUR Council are allowing the tail to wag our dog?
No! That could never be!
You're damned right, MS, it does!

Yesterday I passed a number of polling stations, predominantly in wards which had a respect candidate standing. Outside each polling station were a groups of respect party supporters who were obviously strongly "encouraging" people to vote for their candidate.
Secondly I am sure we all saw the TV reports from Odsal today showing the dismay of Ian Greenwood and the jubilation of Alyas Karmani and his supporters - interestingly not one female or one white British face among them.
Here's a prediction for george galloway - if the respect party continues to gain power, he will find himself surplus to requirements in the islamic respect party.

The councillors have very little or no power, they are just a front to make the electorate think they actually have a say

There is a great element of incompetence, inexperience, laziness, lack of skill, too many outside interests, etc, involved in what you correctly highlight.
Taking the example of most organizations:
The 'Chair' is elected, the CEO - appointed.
The Board - a mixture of NEDs, and Execs, makes Policy - the Executive brings it about.
If the Execs don't, or more seriously won't, they are 'Asked to leave.'

Respect has given youth a voice in our area. Many young people have been involved in politics for the first time. It is time for a new kind of politics. I'm sick of hearing the same old excuses from Bradford politicians. Now we have some idealists in here, untainted by the backroom antics that we've suffered since the days of Poulson and T Dan Smith.
This is a change that is long overdue. They cannot achieve much yet, but every new party has to start somewhere.

However, Labour may yet have an ace up its sleeve because Councillor Imdad Hussain – who was not up for re-election this time – was suspended by the Regional Labour Party from his Heaton seat before the election after it emerged he had been disqualified as a company director for seven years after his company went into liquidation last year.
He is currently listed as an “Independent” councillor and the Labour party apparently believes that he will continue to vote with the party whether or not he is reinstated following the current investigation into his situation

It has certainly never been suggested to me that I vote for George's self-aggrandizing party, I would rather consume his excrement than give him my vote! Luckily I live well away from the city and Respect wouldn't waste their time in such a non-colonial area.

The problem in every other racial community in Bradford has integrated, and respected the culture of the country they have chosen to become part of. Many years ago the council had a policy of integration through schools, ensuring children from all areas were taught together which had an impact On funding for other areas of education.

If you put on those beloved spectacles of yours from Specsavers you will see that you also wrote "The Whites Were NEVER Racist To Anybody" That is what I was referring to.
By the ambiguous nature of the word Terrorism I would say to you that what we see as terrorists someone else sees as freedom fighters. Remember that Saddam and Bin Laden were 'friends of the West' until we had no need for them.
By the way I think you mean Middle East NOT Eastern Block. The unrest may well be there but there are different causes and reasons for that, you can't tar them all as the same.
As for going there, well I have been to a couple of the middle eastern countries and had no problems (just be aware of the laws of the land) and obviously there are some I would not even dream of going to.

The lake is done so let us move on. If Westfield won't start building then make them turn more of the site into a family orientated leisure area, by that I mean as a park with play areas not gambling etc.
Respect councillors are in now, so let's see what they do to benefit their wards before we condemn them. Can they really be that much worse than their predecessors? Time will tell.....

Westfield,as a start, has to start building now and,if they cannot commit to so build within six months, they should be thrown out.time for positivity in this city to dismember the negativity which has been allowed to pervade this city for so many years.

I told them that it was none of their business and to go away. When my friend left the station he got the same question asked of him and he also refused to answer. They were very menacing indeed, and i was glad to drive away from the area. What happened to the time when a policeman was always present outside polling stations? We could have done with him there. I suppose that we have to expect that sort of harrassment nowadays, as it seems to be a feature of elections in Pakistan....win votes by fair means or foul.
A friend of mine works at one of the schools in Bradford used as a polling station. He told me that the 'Respect' candidates and their acolytes behaved deplorably on Thursday. When they were not arguing with anyone who appeared to be averse to them, they were seen to activley try and strong arm passers-by into coming in to vote for them. I think these people need to look in an English dictionary, at the meaning of the word RESPECT. Then go and change the name of their disgusting party.

Ian Greenwood has not been responsible for Bradford for 17 years. The issues of the Odeon, Westfield etc should be shared by all of who have served on Council for many years. Short memories indeed.
Remember the likes of Pickles, Eaton, Hopkins. Look where they are now and look at what goes into their bank accounts. Who pays for that.
Several contributors have commented on isolationism. We are definitely a divided city. My wife and I speak after spending well over 30 years teaching Inner City children, who are now being let down and ignored by their own.
Those of us who have been involved in Bradford politics for decades have seen it all before - someday comeday. We shall still be here when Galloway gets back on his bus and drives into the sunset. I hope he will show respect for ALL Bradford residents.

I see that analysis as a gross over-simplification. The vote, particularly against Council Leader Ian Greenwood, despite his 17 years service, is one of rejection of an administration with an appalling record of poor decision making and spending. The City is now far worse both in terms of the social conditions of the populous and in the poor facilities on offer compared with 30-40 years ago.
Also consider that two MP, Kris Hopkins, Keighley & Ilkley and Phil Davies, Shipley, wish to take their districts out of the Bradford Council control to form a new district council totally separate from the city, with its own elected councillors.

'Do you have better proposals ... ?
tyker2, essentially I agree with you, that Bradford has been left to rot for decades, When I first moved to Bradford/Leeds they were both on their knees - Boar Ln had trees growing out of its fine buildings and the Arcades were falling down.
Then Political control stabilized in Leeds, while that in Bradford was yo-yo-ing. The economy of Leeds took off, investments and jobs flooded in with people oriented policies enacted by Labour, with the Liberals acting as a ginger group.
In Bradford the Tories continued the slash and burn policies that had filled their back pockets, bank accounts and off shore tax avoidance havens in the past.
Council guaranteed Old people's homes were starved of funds then sold into the hands of asset strippers where they, and their vulnerable residents, became yet another commodity to be traded. Bought and sold like a sack of spuds.
‘Council’ housing was let go to rack and ruin - blighting the health and educational prospects of all generations for years to come. The ‘Well to do’ fled the decrepit schools, de-camping to areas where their pals would build brand new schools, libraries, etc at the expense of the much more needy and neglected City centre Victorian legacy.
Bradford needs massive investment. It needs a united positive front, not the petty bickering and mud slinging exhibited in much, but not all, of the contributions in this thread so far.
It needs strong, confident, expert Portfolio holders to make sure that the Executive carries out policy decided by the policy makers - influenced by us. Execs who don’t, or won’t deliver should be shown the door P D Q.
Someone re-badged ‘Rate Payers’ as Customers. But we’re treated like mendicants. Customers hold their cash until they’ve got their purchases. We pay up, then Council employees decide what THEY think we should have. That’s got to stop.
Lobby your Councilors, go to their Surgeries, attend Council Committee meetings - they’re more fun than you think. Attend Bradford’s unique Neighbourhood Forums - there’s one near you soon.
Bradford’s getting more positive publicity on TV and other media than we could hope for in our wildest dreams.
Use it Bradford - use it or loose it!
Let’s - Build a Better Bradford - one we can look at with pride and say ‘We did that.’

Mr / Ms farage, it is reasonably clear that you think that you are one of the most important people in :

You genuinely think that MP Galloway has nothing better to do than sit around waiting for you to write to him demanding that he resolve a problem that has foxed Governments for the last half century.
When he doesn’t send you a solution by return of post, it is ‘obviously’ because he is a racist , and threw your email away to encourage you to write to this column with conclusive proof that he is a racist and a political captive of Islam.

He could have sent a polite mail explaining how busy he was and would get back to me, instead he outlined his thoughts, the steps he'd like to take and his hopeful outcome.
Whilst not campaigning for the lib dems what I will say is happyman is correct, get down to the surgeries and open door days, raise your concerns, make politics and politicians work for you.

Whether you agree with GG's views or not you have to agree that the combined media, political and security establishments of this country and America have not been able to show that he is corrupt or 'in it for the money'. How many other politicians could survive the microscopic analysis of their private and public duties that GG has had to withstand? Would you come out as clean as him? I know I certainly wouldn't. He is making the the politicians and public servants justify their positions to the people who elected them. Good for him -and us!

Spot on, PCBA.
MPs get lots of money which is Ring Fenced, to pay for Support Staff – researchers, secretaries, typists, etc. MP Ward is using his allocation to good effect and providing you and ‘his’ other constituents the service you’ve paid for and deserve.
Well done MPW, you’re carrying on the traditional role of the Liberal Party – taking care of your Community – that’s how you made inroads in areas where the Councillors of the large parties had become complacent.
Then you p^^^^d it all against the wall by selling out to the Class Traitors in ‘The Gang of Four’, and their careerists poodles, including the then Labour MP for Bradford West – Eddie Lyons.
Not satisfied with that, the Liberals have been sold out again by MPClegg.

The overuse of capitols used for whole words doesn't help either. And you might want to consider ordering your posts into paragraphs (as things stand you come across like some ranting, barely-literate loon).
I hope you find these comments helpful and take them in the spirit in which they are intended.
Just Like Picking, Nothing Better to Do
Read The Newspapers
Writen Same As Me
But As You Provem Yourself You Cannot Read ENGLISH
Like Most Of You, UNTIl It Involves MONEY, & SS Benefits
Then You Can Read That

How much faith do you have in Politicians and Governments to 'change the system'?
"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France.
To win at the game you need to know what the rules are. Don't think too hard folks the Real World is stranger than Alison in Wonderland. And once you wake up to who really Governs, then you might -we ALL might- ,collectively, really be able to have an impact on Political change.
Right, I'm off for my dose of 'opium for the masses'. Come on City!, come on City!

koee.. greenwood wanted the odeon demolished right up till 2 weeks before the elections, someone must have pointed out we actually wanted to keep it. grrenwood gone? best news for bradford ever, this is the guy who refused to vote at meeting when the tories got in. took his bat home and only attended the meetings to get his exes and cuppa's. how is that helping bradford, when items were being voted for that went against the grain, yet because he'd taken his bat home he did nothing to scupper tory plans.

Take A Look At Your OWN Country, & Who asked them to come here???
But whoever may or May Not Have, WAS a grave mistake
they have now seen the light
& Asking them to go back where they came from, Why Dont You
We all know the answer to that one, Why Dont We Have An Election & Vote On That one, Then We Will Know The True Feelings
But GG Ah Well. Yes he has A Voice, just the same as he has always had, But No Actions On His Fruitless words, He will Get Kicked out Again Like He Always has been, But as long as he gets his back pocket filled, (GREED), then he will try anywhere to get it
You know all about plant pots dont you, You use them regularly Enough
& Did Victoria, Peddle Drugs
To all that were Stupid enough to Buy it ???? NO
But the question is Where will they go to, when theres nothing left for them in this country ???
Answer that one
Money is running out fast, thats why there are so many cut backs
& As Already said It WILL Get worse, No matter how clever You Think You Are, !!!!
you cannot put a pint, in an half pint glass, The British Isles Is over populated Now, Over Flowing, It cannot sustain SS Benefits For ever, & Not Much Longer, Dont you get it ??

& you go on about the Jamacans? Yes there was Fractions, But NOT Racism, & Did it take long for them to realise the Wrong, NO they soon intergrated, & The Irish, Well Take a look there, They are Still At It, In Ireland, Trouble Keeps Bubbling, But thankfully It Now Seems to Be Contained There,
Drugs are for the Idiots Who Cannot Cope With Life, & Who Is Taking Advantage Of THEM ??
But al least it Might Help To Reduce the population,

I thought we were supposed to blame the Jews for everything that was going wrong in the world? That's if we are not blaming Scientists of course or even Politicians. And thank goodness we sorted out those pesky women eh -all them Witches in particular- what would the world have been like if they had gotten a foothold! It's a good job there is 100%, superior, English, heterosexual blood running through your veins Druggy or there would be nobody to keep a look-out for the Gays and Lesbians who are no doubt conspiring to take over the world. Keep up the good work of scapegoating, however, failing to consider that it might actually be YOU that is the 'real problem' with YOUR world may result in your failing to identify the 'root cause' of YOUR problems.

& Yes you are right, There are Good And "Unfortunately" Bad In every Creed & Denomination one can List, I have worked in Mills & lots of other Businesses
and found That to be very true
I have Very Good friends from Lots of different Denominations,
All be it the older ones,
& yes maybe there are many more of them in the countries you list, But do they do as they like there?? Very doubtful
It realy does seem that the Generations of today, All of them, Whoever they are, Seem to have this Phobia, that the world owes them all the time
but to do very little themselves to improve anything,
To quote an old saying, Money the root of all evil, well yes it probably is part of it, Then there is religion, another cotradictive Area, But it seems from the year imomorial, That this>>> has always been the same, A big problem >>> "Greed", & to be honest this will always be there Its a Human Failure, & Unfortunately A lot of Humans will not share, They want it all themselves & it will go on until
Until doomsday
Killing & Desecration Of the Human Race, Always has been

Just to point out We rent From An Asian Chap, Who Is Very Nice & Socialbe No Problems, before he offered us the house He had Some Asians living here
He said he was glad to get rid of them, they trashed the place, Lots of damage Etc, He had the place totally Refurbished & Decorated & Thoroughly Cleaned , He asked if we would like it, As He Knew Us to be Good Tenants, We Agreed to This & We are very happy & So Is he, He has visited us & remarked he is very happy With
How we look after the place, & hopes we stop for long term
This is the Second Rent We Have Had From An Asian, Who It Has Been A Pleasure To Have Met Them 2, But We Have Had Some Very Bad Experiances aswell, So As We Say There Are Good & Bad In Every Race
I would be pleased if you now agree that the problems of Bradford are not all caused by British born Asian folk, who are just trying to live their lives as best they can, like the rest of us.The Answer to your Question Is NO, The problems are not all Asian, There are other Denominations Who Cause Problems Including Whites,
Not Just In Bradford, But Many Other Towns And Cities
I Think The Answer Is To Intergrate & Lets Get The Whole Communities Together In Harmony

You've just spent a load of time in the most shambolic form of communication I can ever recall experiencing, trying to tell us something we already knew! That there is good and bad in every race, creed, colour, religion, nationality, gender. Why spend half your posts making childish, pathetic digs at other posters only to end up doing a 180 degree change from your original direction? 'Now the Drugs don't work they just make you worse but I know I'll see your face again'

People like this surely need to, the guy is whacked out. Needs calming and reassuring everything will be ok.
Phew, it has made some of the most difficult reading and comprehension I have ever had the misfortune to come across on these pages and that takes some doing considering some of the numpties that do post.
