Religion & Politics

Is Corbyn-led Labour prepared to ditch the Jewish vote in order to maintain a high Muslim one?

According to research by Birmingham University, using data from the British Election Study, both the Anglican and Catholic vote for Labour has declined in recent elections while more voters with no religious affiliation supported Corbyn (47 per cent) than the Conservatives (38 per cent) in 2017. With 85 per cent of Muslims thought to have backed Labour two years ago, some suspect that the party has willingly dispensed with its Jewish vote in favour of voters of other faiths or none at all.

as i mentioned on another thread, according to the news
on BBC something life 1.9 million people of Black and Asian origin have failed to register to vote. They would be an enormous asset i suspect to the Labour cause.

There are about 300,000 Jews in this country and about 4 million Muslims. Yes, Corbyn and his motley crew are prepared to ditch the Jewish vote.

Is it not a rather grey area when politics collides with religion?

Religion and Politics are two faces of the same coin.
