Would Muslim voters vote for indiginous white candidates?

In a constituency were a Muslim candidate stands for a political party which is not normally a muslim voter`s first party choice would they vote for the party or the Muslim candidate even though the candidate represents another party.

    Why not ask the question that where the constituency comprises mostly a muslim population and the only choices of candidates are white the vote is always well below the average? That is what happens so no they would vote more for a muslim candidate than a white one unless the muslim was an extremist faction and then they either wouldn't vote at all or would vote for the candidate who would give them the most benefit. Not the benefit culture type but for themselves as individuals. Also I have noted that where the most voting fraud has been perpetrated has been in labour controlled constituencies where the candidate is a muslim. Why is this?

    Yes, and not only would they vote for a white candidate, but white voters would also vote for a suitable muslim candidate. Glasgow Govan is not overwhelmingly muslim, yet has a muslim MP. Same goes for Tooting, and many other places.

    very nearly a a hundred% of white electorate have been balloting for white applicants for president each 4 years for over 2 hundred years. If Blacks vote overwhelming for Black applicants for the subsequent 2 hundred or maybe a hundred years, i'm going to concern approximately it.

    Most "indigenous whites" and most Muslims vote for the candidate who best represents their views. They don't vote on racial grounds.

    There are a few who will vote for purely racist reasons in all communities. In a democracy that is their right.

    seeing as how they want their own law, own swimming pools and own driving schools, anything they can do to distance themselves from the host nation they will do it i reckon if there was no other choice but a white candidate they would have to vote for them. there arent that many muslim mp's so their choice is limited

    I would like to think that most Muslims would take a more balanced view than that.

    Why do you ask, are the BNP standing a Muslim candidate somewhere?
