A Former Green Deputy Leader Calls It a Danger to Society
A quarter of British Muslims have a favourable view of Hamas. They are more likely to view the IRGC favourably than unfavourably. Twenty one percent feel unfavourably toward British Jews, double the general population figure. Forty five percent believe Jews have too much power over the media. Thirty nine percent believe Jews have too much power over Parliament. Nearly a quarter believe violence is a legitimate response to burning the Koran. These are the documented results of a poll of 1,006 British Muslim adults commissioned by Policy Exchange. Dr Rakib Ehsan’s conclusion is unambiguous. The United Kingdom is far from being a stable multi-faith democracy.
Read that sentence again. The United Kingdom is far from being a stable multi-faith democracy.
Now read what is happening to the vote. Muslim support for Labour has collapsed from 80 percent to 33 percent. Six in ten Muslim voters are prepared to back a pro-Gaza independent or the Green Party in Thursday’s elections. The Henry Jackson Society has identified 171 sectarian style candidates standing across 31 councils, concentrated in Birmingham, Bradford, Blackburn, Tower Hamlets, Rochdale, Manchester and Oldham. These are not protest candidates. They are the advance guard of a structural realignment in British democracy that the political class is not yet willing to name.
The Green Party’s membership has tripled from 68,000 to 215,000 under Zack Polanski. The party’s own former deputy leader, Dr Shahrar Ali, has identified that surge as Islamist entryism and described his former party as a danger to society. Two Green candidates have been arrested this week for allegedly posting content defending Hamas and endorsing ramming a synagogue. Both will still appear on Thursday’s ballot papers.
