The UK's Green Party has won the Gorton and Denton by-election, a contest that descended into accusations of sectarianism. The Gaza war was a hotbed issue.
Hannah Spencer, the Green candidate, won with 14,980 votes, beating Reform UK's Matt Goodwin (10,578) and Labour's Angeliki Stogia (9,364). It is the party's first Westminster by-election win and deals a serious blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his ruling Labour party.
Muslims make up more than a quarter of the 80,000 voters in Gorton and Denton, and the poll was widely viewed as a referendum on the direction of travel in British politics. Some senior Labour figures had accused the Greens of “whipping up hatred” among Muslim voters during the campaign.
Concerns have been raised about people forcing family members to vote in a certain way in the contest.
Election observer group Democracy Volunteers warned it had witnessed “concerningly high levels” of family voting – an illegal practice where two voters use one polling booth and potentially direct each other on voting.

is the news article implying the greens are anti-muslim?
“is the news article implying the greens are anti-muslim?”
???
No clue
No! On the contrary the Greens now is part Green (environment) and part Green (Islam). They are pro mass-immigration, Hamas, and against nuclear energy and the internal combustion engine. UK is in very big trouble, but the UK is only a few years ahead of most other countries in Europe.
This was pretty much a forgone conclusion, between election rigging by the elite and the Muslim culture enabling and encouraging the forced choice of how family members vote (just another reason btw why women should not vote) it is a matter of when not if for the erasing of the once “Great Britanica”
The sun has indeed set years ago on the British Empire.
Green party candidate was distributing leaflets in Urdu showing her in front of a mosque wearing a keffiyeh and urging voters to “make Labour pay”.
This was safe Labour seat, but now it became battlefield between Reform (anti immigration) and Green (pro immigration)!
The traditional English parties disintegrated.
Looks as though the Muslims decided on the Green Party, at least in this case, and made sure they all voted, and voted ‘correctly’.
Has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Democracy...it was a strategic decision.
