Hi all,
It s coming to election time and in the UK we have 3 main parties. These are:
Who will you vote for as a Sikh? Which party best represents Sikh beliefs?
Labour have been in power since 1997 and have done some good things like spent money on education, health service, training scheme for work, helped families with Tax Credits and introduce minimum wages. Their biggest downfall was Iraq. Most Labour voters however, were totally against Iraq. They emphasise collective responsibility.
The Liberals pretty much want to do what Labour will do, but never supported Iraq. They emphasise collective responsibility.
Conservatives, supported Iraq. They want to give tax cuts to well off. They want to take money out of the Public sector and give it to subsidise the Private sector eg schools. They want to abolish training schemes for unemployed. They have a poor track record with the National Health Service, and created massive waiting lists last time they were in power. they believe in self and individual responsibility.
I believe that for a Sikh we have a collective responsibility to society. Sarbat Dha Bhalla, so that immediately discounts the Conservatives. Labour have done some wrong things, but voting Liberal will split the vote and mean Conservatives will get in. I cannot in all honesty understand if you are a Sikh, how you can support a Right wing Party? I have seen some Sikh candidates for the Conservatives, and they all seem to be multi-millionaire types? Are we so fickle as Sikhs that we forget Sarbat dha Bhalla when we accumulate Maya?
I will vote tactically to keep Conservatives out. A vote for Sarbhat dha Bhalla, not for Hankaar!
On a side note.
The campaign the Conservatives have launched seems to have backfired, with the ordinary public making fun of them and their posters:
