Great stuff we certainly don't want BNP knuckledraggers in any of Britain's decent parties, best thing your "members" can do is stick together and play hunt the brain-cell.

You can have an opinion on whether someone's a good or a bad one. who can decide whether he's a good or a bad one?

And then when that happens it'll be too late.

Another Muslim presumably, who has studied the Qu'ran in as great or greater detail.

As an atheist I wouldn't presume to judge if a Muslim was a good or bad Muslim.

Now as to whether he's/she's a good person is another matter entirely.

Re: A Muslim MP
 

When? Gary, you believe that it will happen?

Re: A Muslim MP
 

Never in a million years.

Re: A Muslim MP
 

Why not?

Re: A Muslim MP
 

There's a few reasons I can think of really why there will never be a muslim PM. one of which being nobody would vote him or her in.

Re: A Muslim MP
 

People don't vote for a PM (it's not like US of A President) - people vote for their party/MP, and the leader of the Party can change (viz. G Brown and J Major for example, non-elected PM's (but tbf, JM did get elected in 92)).

Re: A Muslim MP
 

If the amount of muslims continues to grow in this country, wouldnt you say theres a very good chance it will someday happen? Not wanting to be controversial here but, and this maybe just my opinion, some people of different nationalities tend to have a lot more kids than "us", surely one day the muslim population will be greater than our own?

Re: A Muslim MP
 

I do wonder why people on both sides beleive not just that it could possibly happen, but that it will definitely happen.

They would have to get a majority in a majority of constituencies, and by the time they've done that, they'd most likely have gone native anyway.
They'd also have to convince the Lords and the Monarch.

Re: A Muslim MP
 

Why? How does that work? :confused: Thanks in advance for the education :)

Re: A Muslim MP
 

That's what I meant.

The population could and would be greater than ours. that's what a lot of people are worried about. but I still don't think there will ever be a muslim PM.

Really.

I think the Queen may have some reservations about a Muslim PM making appointments within the Church of England. :)

Re: A Muslim MP
 

This is why I think politics should be taught in schools.
I would estimate that the majority of people know pretty much nothing about how our system works.
If people were taught about it, I would have thought they'd be more interested in taking part by voting, or contacting their MP about concerns etc.

A very simplistic and therefore not totally accurate description of what happens is a bill is presented to either of the houses (Commons, full of MPs, and Lords, full of er well, Lords) for debate and a vote on it. If it passess it goes to the other house for a debate and vote, if both houses agree then it goes to the monarch to be signed into law and changes from a bill to an act (as it's an act of parliment).

So in order for say Common law to be replaced by Sharia law, the government would need to decide how the Sharia bill would be worded, would it have to decide how to word it, would it just say all laws would be null and void? What about parking laws etc which aren't covered by the Koran?
So would they amend every act to reflect sharia? That would take decades and probably bankrupt the nation.
The bill they decide on would go to the commons, be debated, and then they'd have to win the vote, then the bill will go before the Lords.
The lords would have to vote on it and agree that it should be passed.
Then it goes before the monarch who has the final say.
Now traditionally the monarch always signs bills into law, however they do not have to, so they could disolve parliment and force a general election.
