They were thinking he was the Labour candidate and it was time for a Labour Mayor.
A huge number of people vote for party, especially in local elections. Quite a few probably had no idea Labour had put up a Muslim, or that the Conservatives had put up a Jew.
As if his name alone wasn't a red flag.
Thanks. I don’t follow their politics closely enough to know either of those things prior to the election.
Seeing the Muslim elected was somewhat shocking to me.
I don’t know how people get sold on party politics. I’m a single person supporter. Present a good game plan, and I’ll evaluate you against the other person. End of story...
I will state that in this day and age, I would also consider the Democrat party as a big negative, but it’s because they have so morphed into the “Evil Empire” model.
In general terms, I’d be afraid to give them numbers based on their destructive force, when in power.
I suppose this would qualify me as a party animal too, but the fact is, I detest the Republican party almost as much these days.
The Uni-Party aspects of our government right now are chilling.

Khan is by far the most popular Labour politician in Britain, which means that down the road, if Labour gains power, he could very well wind up being the British PM.
