Green Party

The Sikh Federation in the UK has issued a statement in support of Green votes to stop the BNP in the North West, West Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber regions. 

The Federation works for a stronger political voice for Sikhs and is also registered as the first ever Sikh political party in the United Kingdom. On its website, the statement says:

Stop the BNP in the European Elections

USE YOUR VOTE ON 4 JUNE 2009

In the 2004 European elections the BNP polled over 800,000 votes across Britain. On the 4 June the BNP will be targeting Yorkshire & the Humber, the West Midlands and the North West regions where it was only 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.3% short respectively.

The general public is outraged at politicians from the main political parties in Westminster following the scandal of MPs expenses.

However, the protest vote that will almost certainly result in the European elections could let the BNP in.

The BNP can only be defeated by mobilising all those opposed to fascism. To this end the Sikh Federation (UK) urges Sikhs throughout Britain to cast their vote on 4 June in large numbers.

If any Sikhs are to cast a protest vote it is better if candidates of the Green Party are supported, which is the only major political party that has passed a specific motion in support of the Sikhs right to self determination.
