Coming from N Ireland as I do, I recognise sectarian politics when I see it and I hate to see it being implemented by GB political parties. The UK is already experiencing difficult times so further destabilisation is not going to benefit the political landscape.
Stephen Daisley wrote two good articles on this theme I thought I'd share in case anyone missed them:
Labour Can't Complain About Sectarianism in Gorton
The Greens' Urdu Ad is Zack Polanski at his Worst
"The potential for a mainstream ethnic nationalist party in the lifetime of people reading this sentence is severely underpriced. If such a party does emerge, Polanski and those who treat politics as lightly as he does will have played an outsized role. The world doesn’t work the way progressives believe, where the privileged must be silent while the oppressed speak up. Encourage some identity groups to think or vote along sectarian lines, and you give licence for others to do the same.
That’s the problem with politics as fashion. Sooner or later, you’re going to start a trend."
