(National-UAE) The growing influence of Muslim voters in Britain could bring about a “massive sea change” and create a shift in the local elections next week, the National has learnt.
With four independent MPs winning seats in last year’s general election, the momentum of the growing power base of Britain’s four million Muslims is expected to continue in the May 1 poll.
Victories are expected for Muslims standing as part of a political movement in towns across Lancashire, northern England, and elsewhere, providing a base for future polls.
Mohammed Iqbal, an independent Muslim candidate standing in Pendle, Lancashire, told the National that, due to the Gaza conflict and Labour and Conservative policies, people were becoming “resentful” towards the national parties.
