Seriously do people actually believe all of the following points:
- 'Asians' make up the majority of people in bradford.
- All asians in Bradford are Muslims
- George Galloways 52% landslide victory happened because he spoke in a few mosques and gave out leaflets to a minority number of a minority population?
Seems like the typical OCUK 'send them back' brigade is at full arms today becase an idiot of a politician won the vote in Bradford.
I live in Bradford, I'm a non religious Asian person (wow, so hard to believe that they, or even non Muslim asians actually exist right?), and I didn't vote.
But if I did vote, who would I have voted for? Whoever I believed would actually make some kind of attempt to fix the crater in the city centre, and just about every business in the city going bankrupt which is the current direction Bradford is heading towards
Do I think that labour would have done that? They have been in power for a long time here now, and the last thing I heard is that the Bradford council also wanted to tear down the Alhambra theatre while labour had the seat, so no I'm not voting for them. I really don't think that the conservatives or the lib dems would give a crap either, neither seem concerned in the slightest bit about Bradford.
If I wanted to vote on which party I prefered for their policies, Id be voting green or Ukip, but when they can't even get 5% of the vote between them, I would just be wasting my time or effort.
That would have left my options as either:
George Galloway as a protest vote
Or the mad loony party.
Id have voted for the mad loony party.
