A former factory worker, George Galloway was elected as a member of the Labour Party in 1987. It didn't take long before he was causing a stir. A vocal opponent of the '91 Gulf War and the economic sanctions against Iraq, critics said he was too cozy with Saddam Hussein. In 2003, he spoke out against the war in Iraq and blasted George Bush and Tony Blair for invading. The fact he went public with his criticism didn't go over well with Blair's Labour Party. Galloway was kicked out and ended up starting his own party, called 'RESPECT.' Most recently, he's taken heat over the Middle East. He's a critic of Israel and a supporter of the Palestinian cause. Earlier this month, he went to Gaza - he says to give donations to Palestinians, others say he was offering financial support to Hamas.
