The People of Bradford Vote for Change

Friday, May 4th, 2012
The Respect Party has scored another victory in Bradford winning 5 seats in Bradford Council. The leader of Bradford Council Labour Candidate Ian Greenwood has also lost his seat.
Will the 3 main political parties in the U.K. get the message? The messages are many but the main points are that the people of Bradford are against the endless wars which have cross party support in the U.K. and also that we can’t see any difference to our lives which ever of the main parties is in power. Muslims were traditionally Labour voters but the Labour party cannot count on that any more.
Muslims in Bradford have woken up to the fact that they can actually make a difference by getting out and voting, something which is controversial in itself as it is interpreted by some as wrong to be a participant in any form of goverment which is not shariah.

It’s really hard for us to know who to vote for as sometimes it makes us fight amongst ourselves and that surely is what tptb want? It would be nice if we had just one person that we could support and they would do the best for all the Muslims here but alas a way off perhaps? It seems we are not all united and not on the same page unfortunately
