Would you vote for an ethnic candidate in the next election?

No, because I dont believe their is any that would represent me above their own,

when push comes to shove we are pack animals and revert to type, every day I see more and more ethnic encroachment into British society, I do not see integration, Watch TV tonight and the numbers game will be evident, obligatory ethnicity in all media programs, if I want to see how they live and act, I will travel to their country,

I have just been reading that British History in schools will only start from 1700 just the last 300 years, no Magna Carta, no Normans no Tudors no Shakespeare then, 1700 !! that's just about right for the slave trade ain't it ? and Why ? cuts so that we can admit in another 400,000 immigrants next year? not that the British politicians have the ba-ls to put Britain first, but my tribe race breed pack colour kind will always come first to me, and if that makes me un ethnically, tough because I believe if ethnics get in power in numbers, being as I am a white English man they most certainly would be racist towards me,

Ethnicity does not factor into the equation....sorry! The candidate that have voted the way I think they should and has a platform that mirrors my beliefs will get my vote. That is why I do extensive research into the candidates. You never assume that a candidate who was in the military supports the current military. You check his record.

Ethnic Candidates have been voted into parliament but show me one that has stood up for the truth when it was his party that was responsible for an foul up.? Ethnic candidates are very docile and are just happy to be elected . The Hanwell and Southall candidate deprived this town of another Councillor because he still operates as a councillor and draws a substantial income from remaining as a Councillor + MP.. You would hardly see him at a councillors venue. That does not matter ,he still can draw full remuneration.

Money is the glue. and like the Expenses Scandal they made it legal for an MP to operate in both jobs should they choose to . I have better choices

I'd vote for the most poisonous viper on the face of the earth if it was running against one of the sitting MPs. I'd be safer with it than them. Its what the public need to do no matter who or what candidate runs against any of them to be able to get properly represented. This lot only represent their own thieving, greedy, self serving, incompetent selves. Vote independent and don't worry about their ethicnicity. No matter what we'll be better off even if it causes anarchy.

Hi Ivor

I would vote for the candidate and the party that would be most effective in my area.

I don't see how their ethnic origin would be relative.

Then, in Coventry UK we are a mixed bunch and tend to celebrate diversity. Eid, Chrismas, Duwali, St Patrick's Day, Chinese New Year and of course the New Year - we celebrate them all!!

It's great.

Ethnicity is not a factor in my decision. If I agree with a candidate's platform or ideology, that person would get my vote. It is a racist that would automatically assume that whites would not vote for anybody non-white.

In the next election, I wil NOT vote Labour because they took us into the illegal Iraq war

I will NOT vote Conservative because they were even more keen on the war than Labour

I will not vot Lib-Dem because of their lousy MP expenses (they were MUCH better than Labour and Conservatives, but still bad)

So I will then look at who else is standing and it will not matter to me what race, colour or other ethnic background they have

It depends on the individual himself. I wouldnt not vote for him just because of colour if I thought he could do a good job and wasn't a lying sleazebag like the MPs we currently have in government.

I don't care what colour a man is, or where he comes from. If hes the right man for the job then hes in. My only exception would be Islam. I would never vote for an Islamic MP. Under any circumstances. Anyone who seriously follows Islam has no place in a civilised country. let alone a place in parliament.

Look around you.. this is an ethnic country.. we all came from somewhere.. so what's the difference who we vote for.

Thing that is most important however, which we learnt with our present loser president.. LETS VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH A LITTLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!
