Candidate Statements:
"Thank you so much for getting in touch on this issue. I appreciate how important this is and I share the concerns of the British Arab community both here in Cities of London and Westminster and across the country.
Campaigning for the last two years in this constituency, I hugely value the contribution the community and I would be very happy to meet up with you and your members if elected." Rachel Blake, Labour Party
"I’ve campaigned against racism and discrimination all my life. particularly in my work on the repression of religious and ethnic minorities in China, and in the ethnography of the muslim peoples of Russia’s Volga and Caucasus regions. I have also written about religion, including Islam, in my work as a journalist, first as a senior editor at the Economist and lately as a columnist at the Times.
I am honoured to have so many British-Arab voters living in my community will be delighted to engage with representatives of the Arab and Arabic-speaking communities, of all faiths and none." Edward Lucas, Liberal Democrat
What we asked:
"Given current events in the Middle East, in particular reference to Palestine, the general election is a sensitive period for British Arab voters, many of whom remain undecided whom to vote for on July the 4th with traditional party loyalties largely shifting. As a parliamentary candidate who has a large contingent of British Arab voters in your prospective constituency we would like to ask if you would issue a statement in support of the British Arab community in the UK and their importance of their political representation in the upcoming general election and wider political life."
