My MP doesn't seem the type who'd care or do much for this cause

 

 

There was a time when british nationalism alone would not have allowed this. Just because he has a uk passport. They could be racist towards him all day, he's still their property. Or it once was that way. 

Then on an actual human level we should all care. 

Having contacted many mps...despite uhh..not being their constituent, I can tell you only one of about twenty seemed to give a <banned word filter activated>.

Shoot. Somebody tell Rihanna. She might actually care.

How do ethnic minorities vote?

Runnymede has made a film on voting patterns of ethnic minorities, based on data from the largest ever survey on the issue. The film highlights some of the issues raised by the The 2010 Ethnic Minority British Election Survey (EMBES).

The 2010 Ethnic Minority British Election Survey is the most comprehensive study ever undertaken in Britain of the political concerns, orientations, voting patterns and integration of ethnic minorities in the political process.

The key findings are:

• Black and minority ethnic people remain highly supportive of the Labour party, with 68% (two-thirds) voting Labour. The Conservatives and LiberalDemocrats - coalition partners in the current government - got only 16% and 14% of the BME vote respectively.

• Ethnic minorities are somewhat less likely than the White British to register to vote, but among those who are registered turnout rates are very similar towhite British ones.

• They are also highly supportive of British democracy. BME people share the British norm of a duty to vote, and the great majority identify with Britain. Concerns about the commitment of minorities to British norms and values are misplaced.

• Nor do Muslims show in general any lack of commitment to Britain or any enthusiasm for extremist politics.

• However, there is worrying evidence that second-generation citizens of Black Caribbean heritage do not feel that the British political system has treated them fairly. Black Caribbeans, not Muslims, are the group who feel most alienated.

• Finally, a majority of BME people believe that there is still prejudice in the UK society,
• including nearly three-quarters of Black Caribbean people. Indeed, over a third (36%) of ethnic minorities report a personal experience of discrimination.

The race for the Sikh vote

View all news

The largest survey of Sikh voting behavior in the General Election shows an increasingly competitive race for the Sikh vote.

The Sikh Federation (UK) survey of over 1000 Sikh voters found Labour ahead, with almost half the vote, with the Conservatives up strongly to 36%, a rise of over twenty points.

The survey was conducted by the Sikh Network, a nationwide network of activists from Sikh organisations, youth groups and the professions, who had been gathered to help to put together a ‘Sikh Manifesto’ ahead of the election.

These activists were asked to approach Sikh voters in their areas and regions by email and through Gurdwaras to gauge how Sikhs had cast their votes. The organisers were thus able to gather responses from 1,000 Sikh voters across 190 constituencies during the fortnight after the General Election.

The optional religious question in the 2011 census showed that Sikhism is Britain’s fourth largest faith, with 423,000 adherents, about 0.8% of the population of England and Wales. About a quarter are under eighteen.

On the basis of the 2011 census Sikhs make up around 6% of the ethnic minority vote, or just over one in every twenty ethnic minority voters.

The Survation poll of ethnic minorities for British Future included a small sample of 66 Sikh voters out of the 1,633 survey respondents who had voted in the General Election.

In that poll, Conservatives led Labour by 49% to 41% among those Sikh respondents.  As noted in British Future’s release, that sample size is too small to offer any clear guide as to which party was ahead.

The large scale of the Sikh Federation (UK) survey makes it the most important snapshot to date of Sikh political engagement in the 2015 election. While the results do not offer a definitive guide to the politics of the Sikh vote in 2015 either, as the method was not that of a representative poll, its size alone merits attention.

 

What both surveys do capture is an increasingly competitive battle for voters from ethnic and faith minorities between the political parties.

The Conservatives are growing in confidence about their ability to compete with Labour for a greater share of ethnic minority votes than in the past, and have particularly sought to target aspirational British Indian voters in southern marginals.

We should form a voting block, count how many people we can get and say first uk party to get the Jaggi job done is getting all these votes.
