Farage Ltd and Similar Watch

The Ballot Secrecy Act 2023, outlawing of this type of "family voting" is 2 years old, being observed as two (or more) people going into a booth together.

The official and legal way to "family vote" is to get a proxy vote, and the unofficial way is for someone to fill in your postal ballot by following your instructions. And if you see any irregularity, you must report it immediately so that the specific people can be corrected and extra observers installed. Waiting until it's all over and then just claiming that it's happened is useless.

However, asked if the problem was significant enough to have affected the result, Reform UK chairman David Bull told the BBC: "If I'm being candid, probably not. Certainly that would seem to be sour grapes from us if I said it did."

It is hilarious how Farage is trying to spin this, "sectarianism"

Muslims voting for a party led by a gay, Jewish man?

Tosser. Tapping into the Trump playbook that says if you don’t win you cry foul play.

They didn't, Polanski didn't stand. They voted against a candidate who aligns himself with Tommy Robinson and a Party who have only been mildly critical of Israel.

The Greens worked hard for the Muslim vote, the video you shared in the week in Urdu, the associating Starmer with Mohdi. They were successful in doing so and politically smart, but it's not some thumping endorsement of Green policies or Polanski any more than it was an endorsement of George Galloway when he's gone after the same demographic. Without seeing a deeper dive into the actual vote it's difficult to see how much that impacted the result, although I'd imagine it was pivotal.

If Muslim voters were “pivotal”, that means they turned out and voted.

That’s civic participation, not sectarianism.

and if you think those characteristics were even mildly considered in this situation you are deluding yourself.

I'm not sure why you quoted me, if you weren't "saying it was" or addressing a very obvious point i made.

I did address the very obvious point you made.

If your point wasn’t that it was sectarian, then we’re aligned.
