Muslims: What is your political party of choice?

It may be a good idea to make the poll results public, just so non-muslim users can't try and be sneaky and manipulate it. P: Which would of course be a gross waste of time... but some people on TSR seem to have a lot of time to waste when it comes to topics on religion.

Conservative, although my parents vote labour.

Your question assumes Muslims choose their vote based on religious relevance and not on matters other groups care about such as the economy or politics in general.

Personally I would go for Conservatives over Labour like my family usually do for obvious reasons; not reasons associated with faith.

Can I ask why you'd vote for Conservatives?

More so the economic benefits. Labour takes the Keynsian approach of spend, spend, spend and tax the rich for everything they've got and let the next government deal with the deficits. I don't find that a sustainable approach, as a government they should be acting in the countries long-term interests. I'm all for lower taxes (especially for the rich) and increased privatisation. This is because it should add to efficiency improvements, job creation and also it will reward those who work hard. I think with Labour, people in this country are made to feel as though they are entitled to a "very good" (if I must say) standard of living for doing nothing and then get sucked into the poverty trap. I believe the conservatives just have a stronger economic plan in aims to support future generations.

You're ok with them not giving a damn about the poor, ill, disabled, them making it harder to get an education etc etc? Not very Islamic...

I'm not saying Labour are my chosen party, they've messed up too but not as much as the Tories are destroying the country imo.

I'm the only Muslim voting for the Green Party. LOL

Not anymore you aren't ;P

Man you had to ruin it -_-
Do you even vote for them or did you want to prove me wrong?

Making it harder to get an education? the disabled? Benefits are still in place for these people. I believe people should be rewarded for what they do. This whole benefit system is a complete sham, in my opinion. There are enough people who fail to educate themselves and then complain when they can't find work. I think they're a total waste to society and just leech of the tax payers money. I support the conservatives in that they're more Laissez-faire and they acknowledge private sector benefits. None of the parties are particularly Islamic. I'm no socialist, and would deem myself quite capitalist in that to get somewhere in life you have to work hard and spot the opportunities.
