I did vote for them. They are doing a good jobConservatives held Harlow. Probably down to @Bod ... 's campaigning.
I'm interested specifically in this idea that Muslims are much more likely to vote for a Muslim candidate. I've not seen any evidence for this. In areas with a much higher proportion of Muslims than London, when the Tories or LibDems put up a Muslim candidate, and Labour has a non-Muslim candidate, the Labour candidate usually wins by a huge margin.
Have you considered that those who vote for the nasty party could be inherently Islamophobic?
Or they would simply vote against anyone they considered 'non white' just because?
Thats impressive - how did they do that before they were in government.Typical right wing.....
Tony Blair govt introduced ID cards.
Scrapped by Conservatives in 2006
“Identity cards were re-introduced in British law in the Identity Cards Act 2006, enacted during Tony Blair's third Labour government, as part of its counterterrorism initiative (part of the "war on terror", in response to the September 11 attacks and 7 July 2005 London bombings)”
Doesn't change the fact that some (not just Islam) religions believe woman should not lead.There are more female Muslim MPs than male ones.

It was policy and never happened. Lot of big brother watching type arguments.Thats impressive - how did they do that before they were in government.
Rather strange considering driving licenses and passports.One single, national ID card, operated by the state is such a ridiculously bad idea, to anyone who has ever worked in Fraud prevention.

In my case it appears to relate to law changes. Eg due to when I passed my driving test I was entitled to drive a certain class of vehicle and have in the past. When I renewed on line I found I lost this and would have to renew a different way to keep it. People who pass the test now do not get the same entitlements and haven't for some time. So remove my entitlement. If I applied the other way I'd probably still have problems.people's driving entitlements
