Thankfully Nulab's Muslim candidate was beaten and an independent won.

Ha! Excellent.

Ha! Excellent.

They're already over represented with 14% of the councillors and the leader of the council. At the last Census 2001 they were only 3.2% of the population and even allowing for that now to be 5% to 6%, it's still over representation. Had they won last night, as they were expected to (it was a shock that they lost), they would have been up to 16%.

I think we could safely say that vote rigging is the way these people are installed into our political system. Just as it is in their "own" countries. It should be obvious to even political thickos that not every single one of theirs bothers to vote each election, and even if they did all vote, all those other votes coming in should be viewed as being suspect because very few of US EVER VOTE FOR THAT LOT DO WE? POLITICAL PARTY'S, POLICE AND THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES TO THIS EVER GROWING DISGRACE.

I wouldnt say that. Most British people vote for the party before the candidate. They get the odd shock liek this one, and the Conservatives got a kick in the teeth when their now proven to be crooked black candidate John taylor was rejected in then 'safe' seat Cheltenham, but generally people stick with party loyalties.
