> Lots of countries (including many western countries) have some ethnic parties. That does not mean people will vote for their ethnic groups party - in general most will not.
You can vote among ethnic lines without voting for an explicitly ethnic party, which is why Muslims almost invariably vote for leftists even though they are significantly more socially conservative than the most right-wing conservatives, but you know this, you just pretend that you don't know this. This is your SOP.
its my SOP is it? I did not know I had one! Maybe you count stating facts as an "SOP"?
So you have moved ground from all non-westerners to just Muslims? Your original claim was "The only people who didn't vote along ethnic lines were westerners in the past 40 to 80 or so years," I assume that "westerners" is intended to mean "white"?
Muslims in the UK are more likely vote for left wing parties. So did Catholics traditionally (although that has changed in recent decades). Islam is not an ethnic group, it is a religion, and people's religion influencing their politics is not new or unexpected. In any case, a third of Muslims vote for parties on the "right". There are plenty of countries (especially several Muslim majority ones) where Muslims vote for the "right".
I assume that you are admitting that the things you made up are false?
