Election 2024: Labour’s Gaza stance has driven many Muslim candidates to stand as independents

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication or newspaperArticle

Abstract

The 2024 election will see a lengthy list of independent candidates standing against Labour politicians in protest against its position on Gaza.

A newly organised group called The Muslim Vote is attempting specifically to mobilise Muslims to vote against Labour in areas where Muslims make up over 10% of the electorate and where the MP voted against a ceasefire in the House of Commons last November. To this end, it has created a list of MPs – mainly independents but also some Workers Party of Britain and Green party candidates – to vote for in target constituencies.
