So what do you see there "hope" is on a religious level then?
hope of avoiding this....
a labour mp or a moslem party representitive? you see its not just there, its on the ground too and it scares people, to those the bnp is seen as someone to stop it.
I find it shocking that people are afraid of Muslims taking up percentage wise the amount of seats they should have by the law of averages. should I be afraid then of a parliament controled mostly by white males? Perhaps.
well as i stated its not my view so before i get jumped on by a certain person i'd like to make that clear.
this guy however is (or could be a special case) only because in his constituency he gives the appearance of only helping his own "brothers", further to that the local electors there quickly found because of the much higher voting percentage of his people (and again i mean those he describes in his constituency leaflets as his moslem brothers") and because of this it became almost impossible to elect a non moslem so all parties started to put up islamic candidates and so it went on. i can therefore understand why some people in that constituency might feel disenfranchised and since there are many former mill towns right across the pennines it is a feeling that COULD be repeated in other constituencies, its not an issue that effects my constituency so i only know the specifics of this one mp/cabinet minister but as i say it could explain some bnp votes in those areas.
and blizzie, yes i think you are right its the new bete noir to some people just as colour or sexuality is to others simply because of one or two extremists in their midst.
So are you saying, in his area that there was no other choice other than muslim candidates in the main parties and that therefore led other people in another part of the country to vote BNP? And that because muslims vote more that that disifranchises whites? Surely then the white non voters are doing that by themselves by not voting ... and im not saying that all white non votes are BNP. Also, Did tooting elect a BNP person
please read carefully what i said and dont try reading in things i didnt.
i said that in that one particular case the mp did little or nothing for non moslems in his area (in fact even his election leaflets were different) and that at the same time voters had the choice of other parties but not of non moslem candidates (caused be the previously mentioned heavy voting by the moslem community mostly postal and almost entirely for labour) and i'm saying that in that particular area and only that area i do know for a fact that non moslems (of whatever ethnicity) did begin to feel as if they had no voice and because of that i can see how the bnp could exploit that fact to gain votes, the place i was talking about was an average northern mill town of which there are many, now, whilst i cant say with any certainty of course because i dont know it is possible that other similar towns could have similar issues and that could have led to the same thing happening in other towns across the pennines.
as to tooting, no idea, certainly london didnt in the euros
