I think I should let you know that only about 5% of the UK is Muslims so I doubt they're going to taking over.

it is a shame that there are not any Chinese MPs in the house of commons. the Chinese are exemplary citizens and never cause any trouble, they just get on and work hard and look after their communities.

The idea of ethnic minority representation is interesting... If people of an ethnic minority are 'integrated' into our culture, then surely they are represented by existing MPs, and there should be no drive (but equally no resistance or discrimination) to get ethnic minorities elected as MPs.

This. If ethnic minorities were not integrating, then ethnic minorities would take absolutely zero interest in the political process, that decides the future of the UK... The OP makes no sense at all. I think what he's trying to say however is he doesn't want Muslim MP's for some reason... with his "hint hint certain culture" It's no secret that billydisco dislikes Muslims, if you see his past posts.

This thread is confusing man. Aren't the MPs meant to be a representation of the society? Ofc what most people don't seem to recognise is the fact that Britain's culture derived from many others throughout the century, so if the vikings etc hadn't taken over Britain we wouldn't even be saying some of the words we know now exist. So maybe these cultures that already exist are influencing the society without them even being in the parliament...? Also, isn't the Queen derived from a German ancestory...so is this really only about the British culture or is it the fact you're worried about different races "taking over"? Tbh the british culture isn't that fascinating anyway...an example of this was the 2012 Olympics opening. Man I haven't seen an opening ceremony that dull v_v Or maybe it only seems like that because the Chinese had outdone it...

Parliament consists of 7% non-white Mp's now-- they are hardly taking over.

The non white population of the UK is about 8% so it's pretty accurate representation. Do they not deserve any say? some of them have been here for decades and feel that they are truly British,

This. People like billydisco on the one hand want say Muslims to integrate, and when Muslims do, it's a "Oh they're taking over, with their high positions" What do they want? They can't have their cake and eat it..

What exactly would be wrong with that, provided it's a party like the ones we have today, and not a party that is like say...Britain First (Who are classed as a political party)

Are Muslims not allowed to set up their own parties? (That many white English non Muslim people might agree with?)

So you're saying all these people aren't British?

Oh look, the UK has had ethnic minority MP's as far back as...1790. What are your views on Boris Johnson btw? He's half Turkish

Oh come off it mate, whats British society? How about I reverse the answer, the following are not part of British culture, yet they are here in abundance:

-Female Genital Mutilation
-Child marriage
-Honour killings

Where did they suddenly come from?

Here's a good example, its quite a well-known example that members of a certain religion associate with their religion more so than nationality. Do you think they would vote to go to War against a country of their religion, if it was in the UK's interests? Absolutely not. They put their religion before country. (I know not all of them do, but a significant proportion).

The failure of modern liberalism - complete blind tolerance for intolerance.

It is terrible to see British culture being destroyed by all these pesky ethnic minorities.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it. So I sit here eating my Indian curry, reading my French novel, watching my American TV show, and counting with Arabic numerals all the things wrong with the decline of British culture.

BRB, my Japanese phone is ringing....

What do you mean by "British"? Do you mean a "White British" or just a British citizen of any race...?

Is this intentionally ironic? These are all the products of nations with a clear national and ethnic identity which is not denied to them on the grounds that it is "racist".

France will still be French. Japan will still be Japanese. India will still be full of Indians.

The British will still be getting called racists by French, Arabic and Indian immigrants, and British socialists, as they are reduced to a despised minority in their homeland in a celebration of "diversity".

Do you really think the British are or will be a despised minority?

The way identity politics has been played out is that all races apart from white (English) are permitted to organise and advocate for their shared ethnic interests. This typically sees calls for more people "like them" in positions of power.

White Britons are already a minority in cities such as London, Luton, Leicester and Slough. So either the nation casts aside its fear of being labelled racist, or its people are made a minority.
In the latter case, unless white Britons are also made a minority in the power structures, they will be despised by the non-white population who have been geed up by identity politics into a frothing hatred of white "supremacy".

That's an impressive mix of Guardian reader victim mentality and Enoch Powell you've got there.

I think you're wrongly informed, because the 2011 and recent census contradicts your point. Sorry but the white population still makes up the majority of London etc. So, no need to break out in sweats...there's still a loooooong way to go for what you suggested to actually happen. And probably it may never happen as people don't want any more migrants anyway...
