Correct ! Around 65% of Jewish people voted Conservative at the last election..............more than 80% of Muslims voted Labour.

Particularly that the two faiths in question are also the two most predictable at the ballot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The way I see it (and this is only my opinion, nothing more), Jews won't support a party that's too far to the left, after their experiences under Stalin. Equally, they won't support a party too far to the right.......for obvious reasons ! Labour is currently so far to the left, that it makes the relatively right wing Tories look reasonable ! Muslims support Labour, because it's seen as allowing minorites to exercise some influence..............maybe an undue influence ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be equally as telling to see who the other 35% voted for. The absence of that info could imply to the reader that they voted Tory, but I'll bet that the Tory percentage is smaller than that, with a good proportion not voting at all.

Minority groups align themselves with those that will best support their interests. They vote for those that support them. If they don't have someone they'll fund someone that will run to support them. Last I saw in Britain no one's really that arsed and the government reflects those decisions. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
