Muslim Brotherhood (UK)
OP - July 02, 2012, 05:20 PM

I might have missed something, but why do there not seem to be specifically Islamic political parties in the UK? I would have thought a UK branch of Muslim Brotherhood, for example, was guaranteed to have several seats in the UK parliament

With muslims making up less than 3% of the population, a party like the Muslim Brotherhood would be unelectable. The Respect Party is about as close to an Islamic party as you'll find in the UK, and they win seats by appealing to elements of the non-muslim population too.

Why would/should there be one anyway. British Muslims are a very fractal cultural, ethnic and religious community. And also it seems you have a very limited understand of how many votes you actually need to have seats in the parliament, do some research before you make nonsensical comments. And Muslims are not some boogie men the overwhelming majority would not vote for an Islamic British party anyway.
