Hindus contribute to Labour’s election drubbing
Having spoken to dozens of Hindus regarding who they voted for in the May 1st elections, I found that most voted for the Conservative Party, several for the Liberal Democrats, and not a single for Labour.
Historically, British Hindus have generally leant towards Labour, as have all ethnic minorities. However, there has always been a large section of Hindus who alternate between voting for the two main parties depending on current issues. And current issues have meant a huge lurch towards voting Tory, in this instance, although not without some reservation being expressed about what exactly the latter are supposed to stand for.
