How the Muslim Vote’s Sectarian Insurgency Over Gaza Shocked Britain
The Sunday Telegraph’s essay has flagged up the astonishing impact of the Muslim Vote on the July 4th 2024 General Election, including the astonishing revelation that its vote share was around the same as that of Reform. Despite Labour’s overwhelming win in terms of seats, its majority was drastically truncated in many constituencies:
When the circus finally arrived, it offered the usual attractions. The old rituals were a comfort. John Curtice, the swing-o-meter, Laura Kuenssberg and Jeremy Vine performed the familiar motions, not to mention the irrepressible Count Binface.
But while the Labour celebrations and the Tory misery felt routine – even after we had grown used to them in opposite roles – under cover of darkness, a shocking new act crept into the tent.
An insurgent force has entered British politics. The Muslim Vote had no rosette and advanced no meaningful manifesto beyond a set of deeply sectarian principles. It stood candidates tactically, and owed their allegiances purely to religious and ethnic interests.
It had a single set of demands, all related to Gaza. This was a non-party. Yet in numbers, its victory was equal to Reform.
On the day of the election, Jeremy Corbyn proclaimed: “Today, Palestine is on the ballot.” If victorious in Islington North, he added, he would “stand up for the people of Gaza” and campaign tirelessly for “an end to the occupation of Palestine”.
This was the kind of single-issue politics we have come to expect from the former Labour leader. But he is now a prophet of the new sectarianism in our politics.
In Corbyn’s constituency, about 13% of residents are Muslim. The result matched the trend: in seats where that number pushed above 10%, Labour’s results were down by 11 points. Across the country, Sir Keir’s party was enjoying a famous victory, but a powerful counter-current flowed from a single cause, rooted in a single demographic group.
Across the country, comfortable Labour majorities swung to razor-thin margins or outright losses, as Muslim voters turned their backs on the party.
In constituencies where in the 2021 census at least 40% of people described their religion as Muslim, the Labour vote share suffered an average drop of 33.9 percentage-points. These areas were typically in Bradford, London and Birmingham.
In Bradford West, where the highest share of adults say they are Muslim at 59%, the Labour candidate Naz Shah only barely managed to eke out a majority. …
Shadow Paymaster General Jonathan Ashworth was ousted in Leicester South by independent candidate Shockat Adam, who had a 979 vote majority. He had not supported the grassroots campaign to suspend arms sales to Israel, or to endorse the International Criminal Court case against Benjamin Netanyahu. Victorious Adam reacted with the cry: “This is for Gaza.”
Rachel Reeves’s special advisor, Heather Iqbal, also failed to gain a majority in the new constituency of Dewsbury and Batley. …
The collapse in Muslim support also made a sizeable dent in Labour’s national vote share. …
In Ilford North, the new Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, won by a margin of only 528 against independent Leanne Mohamad.
He described the campaign against him as the ugliest he had ever seen, including fabricated recordings in which he appeared to say “I f***ing don’t” care about innocent Palestinians being killed. His vote share had dropped by 20.7% from 2019 to 33.4%.
Muslim Vote has lost no time trumpeting its achievements.
The Muslim Vote shadows a political party without having to conform to the requirements of being one. On Thursday, it aped the customary rubric by celebrating its scalps.
“The goal from the very start has been to empower the Muslim vote and send the main political parties a message,” it tweeted, a funhouse-mirror version of Nigel Farage’s insurgent rhetoric. “Muslims are united, in Muslim-heavy areas your majorities will be under threat, and there may even be an upset. Tonight, we did that in spades.”
Unlike a normal party, however, the Muslim Vote draws its agenda from a myopic preoccupation with one war above all others.
The Telegraph asks the key question:
As the Muslim Vote grows in power and confidence, will Labour have the guts to resist?
The Labour MP for Coventry South, Zarah Sultana, may be among those pushing the party to yield to The Muslim Vote. She said her party’s position on Gaza was a “stain on its record”.
In May, a leaked video of Labour’s Deputy Leader, Angela Rayner, showed her pleading for votes with a group of Muslim men. “If me resigning as an MP now would bring a ceasefire, I would do it. I would do it,” she begged. Having tasted so much blood this week, it seems likely that The Muslim Vote can expect further examples of such contemptible appeasement for mercy in the future.

Stop Press: Labour MP Andrew Western, who was re-elected in Stretford and Urmston in Greater Manchester, has called out the “toxicity” in British politics after some “idiots” took a “sledgehammer” to his home just one day after the General Election result, according to the Mail.

Moslems represent 6% of the population.
Are we really talking about them here?
Or are we talking (more likely in view of so many Socialist Worker placards on display on pro ‘Palestine’ marches) about ‘Momentum’; the far left?
Islamo-gauchisme…….
Postal voting regulations should be extremely stringent.
The far left is by no means averse, historically, to the odd rigged ballot.
I imagine it’s a combination of both. They feed off each other.
Speaking as someone in “Britain”, I am not shocked. It’s another consequence of “Invade the world, invite the world, in hock to the world” to quote the excellent Steve Sailer (“horrid racist” like me).
That 6% is not equally distributed and clearly can make a difference in election results, so they will get disproportionate attention and concession by the political filth trying to win/keep seats.
I have been posting about the muslim vote since the election was announced and I have repeatedly stated that this election will be Labour’s pinnacle. From here on in the party will wither. If there is another election Labour will be wiped out. As I have stated previously it was clear from the Locals this year that muslims had gained enough knowledge of how the system worked to no longer need the Labour Party. They would fly solo. And that is exactly how it will continue.
The next set of Local elections will confirm this. The muslim vote has tasted blood and their political influences and power will increase alarmingly in the next five years.
It is a certainty that many constituencies will be taken over by Muslims in the coming years not because their populations exceed ours but because they mobilise their demographic. Head per head they get more of their people to vote – or hand over their postal voting slips.
Sectarian politics is now a fact and its prevelance will grow. Unless we contain or restrict this growth Sharia law and all the barbarism associated with it will become a factor in what once was British life.
That’s a very gloomy outlook, but I fear you’re not wrong. Fortunately, labour are now in power and will relax immigration controls which make your prediction far less likely….
Oh wait…..
I realised 20 years ago that once the proportion of these people rises from 2% up tp 5% , then up to 10% and 20% that they will get more and more of their own way. This ofcourse means Sharia and more Muslim influence on how British people used to live their lives. ————–ie Islamification.
PS As I type my comment, I just heard that halfwit Eammon Holmes on GB News talk about the “Far Right” in relation to what is currently happening in the French elections.
Would be interesting to have the figures of the percentage of postal votes for each winning candidate. Without the detail I can only guess that it is probably highest for the Moslem s elected. If so it is now in Labour’s interest also to change the postal votes regs.
When Galloway won Rochdale a few months ago 42% of votes cast were postal. No need to guess the ethnicity.
Oldham with a muslim population at 21% also has a postal voting community well in excess of the national average of 17% with a total of 23%.
Bliar and Prescott were responsible for relaxing postal voting requirements 25 years ago in the interests of ‘promoting democracy,’ otherwise known as hoovering the muslim vote which tends to be overseen by the local mosques.
I hope that helps slightly but I agree it is time more clarity was provided in the ethnicity of postal voters if only to assist with community engagement 😀
Notice the single red thumbs down on all our comments. ——No guts to say why they disagree and not motivated sufficiently to spend 5 quid.
I don’t take any notice of the red ticks varmint.
I don’t expect red ticks will change your world view, but I just wish they would say why they disagree
Vaguely related it seems like even France has more lefty voters who are happy to see their country destroyed, though not as many as we have.
Importing voters seems to help, well only for a while according to this article.
It does but for decades the natives have had a chance to avert the assisted suicide and decided not to.
Rather inflammatory language:
An insurgent force has entered British politics … it aped the customary rubric by celebrating its scalps … the Muslim Vote draws its agenda from a myopic preoccupation with one war above all others … will Labour have the guts to resist? … Having tasted so much blood this week … The Muslim Vote [all capitals!] can expect further examples of such contemptible appeasement for mercy in the future.
Anyone who is legally in the country and legally allowed to vote should vote: that is what democracy is all about.
The people responsible for demographic change are the recent governments who, by action or inaction, supported that demographic change – nobody else.
I wonder if Labour will become less keen on immigration from Muslim lands?
And when Labour lowers the voting age, and possibly give non-British nationals the vote, we’ll see an increased level of support for ‘the Muslim vote’. Starmer needs to consider the law of unintended consequences.
And they’re importing future Muslim Voters at the rate of around 1 million a year.
The creature Blair has very belatedly woken up to the disaster he inflicted on the nation, apparently telling Starmer that there’s a bit of a problem with some Muslims.
Understatement of the century (so far).
“A bit of a problem” ha ha ha ah jeez
As I have posted often, the first victims of the muslim vote will be the Labour Party. They will be wiped out within five years. Muslims don’t need Labour and they have woken up to this fact.
“In Britain but not of Britain”. —-That was Braverman’s very accurate description of this bunch of people that see themselves as a separate entity. ——-We never hear about the “Catholic Vote” or the “Protestant Vote” or the “Hindu Vote”, so why the “Muslim Vote”?
Islamification – happening right now.
Culture – which is not defined by race – is shared language, values, morals, manners, heritage, tradition, law. This determines and defines a group as a society and gives social solidarity, stability and prosperity.
Multiple cultures = multiple societies = lack of social cohesion = conflict.
All wars are caused by cultural difference, one culture wanting supremacy, another afraid it will be swamped or disadvantaged – whatever the reason, multiple cultures, fragmented society leads to warfare.
The danger of multi-culture based in sectarianism ravaged Northern Ireland for most of the 20th Century and the remains still evident.
Now multiculturalism and sectarianism have been introduced to Great Britain – well done chaps.
As the hoards pour in, and with moral debauchery and depravity and destruction of the family unit in progress, the Left’s Project Civil War will proceed apace. They might consider they will lose. History shows, the majority sooner or later declare – enough!
