You all have to leftists or else

Hi All,

You can only be an ethnic minority in politics, provided it's the correct politics . And that politics would be left wing .

It used to be said in Glasgow that they didn't bother to count votes, but  to weigh them instead, such was the strength of the Labour party in Scotland , until the SNP changed that. This was also true of their working class strongholds in the north of England, until the last election wherein they went blue. This left the Labour party nothing more than a party for metropolitan Londoners and middle class public sector employees in the other major cities, along with sections of ethnic minorities.

Their coalition and all major parties are coalitions has been reduced to a rump. However conservatives have been gaining ground among ethnic minority voters for decades, as I've mused before the conservatives will probably provide us with the first black or Asian PM, whether male or female. Labour have never had a female or minority leader, despite their preferences for quotas in the selection of candidates that's been going on for over twenty years and their general outlook that anyone who isn't left is a bigot.

This is why the push back by the left  against ethnic minority conservative supporters is so hostile and vehement :  what else have they got if they can't stir up grievances and call everything racists? We can see this with the disgusting treatment of Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Now we have similar treatment toward  Munira Mirza, whose been tasked with chairing a commission  on the recent black lives matters protest. We in England like committees such as this, because they often recommend stuff that isn't knee jerk (destroying statues or banning stuff) that simply does not resolve any issues ( e.g. if you are a poor black , tell me how are statute removals going to advance you in society and help you out of poverty ?).

Mirza should be a good choice for the left as well as the right,  but the left as  far as their own intersectional philosophical sociology is concerned

1. Ethnic minorty
2. Muslim
3. Female
4.  Mixed race marriage
5. Went to a state school and college,  from a poor northern town and ended up with a degree from Oxford University.

The left however don't like he as she isn't one of them:  she's a conservative, libertarian and a brexit supporter, who defended people who were critical of the burqua , suggested minorities shouldn't have a  victim culture, is sceptical of institutional racism and of course is now head of the policy unit at no 10.

 But if she'd been a Labour supporter then she'd have been beyond criticism. But she's conservative so it's ok for the Twitter mob and left wingers to go on their usual rampage, wherein some on the left become borderline racists themselves, without even understanding they are. This is exactly what occurred with us in the Jewish community and the left in recent years. So convinced that they're the only non racist part of politics they can't comprehend it within themselves. It's rather sad.
