Today is the day. The time for campaigning is over. The time for action is now upon us. The time to make your decision is here. London gets her say. It is a choice between Ken Livingstone and 'BNP Backed' Boris Johnson. If you're still not convinced about Ken, don't believe it is halal to vote or are unsure about how to caste your vote, read MPACUK's guide to voting in today's election.
Are we becoming an Attention Deficit Democracy, where we are swayed by shiny objects and empty images rather than – crazy idea! – the policies that affect our lives? When Londoners stream into the polling booths tomorrow, they won't just be picking between Boris and Ken. They will be picking between two different ways of doing politics.
If you disagree with Boris Johnson's view that "Islam is the problem"
and the Qur'an is a book of "religious hatred" ACT NOW to stop him
getting the most powerful job in London politics. You only need a few
minutes, and you don't even have to live in London.
Just how thick does Boris Johnson think you are? He described the
Qur'an as a book of hate, saying "Islamophobia – fear of Islam – seems
a natural reaction". But then he thinks Muslims will vote for him anyway, just because
he says his great-grandfather knew the Qur'an off by heart! (Have a look at this
leaflet that was being distributed outside Palmers Green Mosque last Friday).
On the 2nd of April, the BNP urged its supporters to cast a second preference vote for Boris Johnson in the London mayoral election. The fascists explained that "a second choice vote for him gives you the chance to vote BNP as your first preference and still vote to get Livingstone out of office". The replacement of Livingstone by Johnson would, the BNP opined, "be an improvement for the majority of Londoners".
Londoners will start casting their votes this week when postal ballots begin to arrive at people's homes. Some experts predict that up to a third of all votes cast in this election will be cast before polling day. We can give Ken a head start by ensuring we get the postal vote out, so the campaign will be gearing right up over the next couple of days. To do that, we need your help.
“MPACUK is actively encouraging Muslims to get involved in the democratic process” MPACUK is supporting Ken Livingstone in the London Mayoral election and is strongly urging fellow Muslims to vote. Our campaign involves activating mosques to publicise the election, working with other Muslim organisations and giving out leaflets of which we have already distributed over 20,000.
The British National party has called on its supporters to give their second-preference votes in the London mayoral election to the Conservative candidate, Boris Johnson. In a statement posted on its website today, the far-right party advised people to award its own mayoral candidate, Richard Barnbrook, their first-choice vote, and "the Tory clown Johnson" their second because he was the lesser of two evils.
Recent by-elections in Redwell, Yapton and Lawford have shown the BNP gaining ground. But these are not deprived consistencies with an "immigration problem". On the contrary they are prosperous areas with a white middle class population. Tim Hames of The Times lists his reasons why he feels this worrying trend will continue in the London Elections.
