Must not express a preference for Anglo names
Even in the British Conservative party
"A former Tory Parliamentary candidate was suspended by the party last night after complaining that people bidding to become an MP did not have ‘normal’ English names. Councillor Peter Hobbins is accused of sending racist emails to colleagues attacking the list of prospective Parliamentary candidates for the Orpington seat in Kent.
Mr Hobbins, who stood unsuccessfully for the Tories at the 2001 election and was shortlisted for the London mayoral race, suggested he should change his name to ‘Petrado’ to succeed in the party. One email said: ‘I have been contacted by a Mr Dilon Gumraj and a Zerha Zaidi and others who are all on the approved Conservative Parliamentary Candidates list. ‘Not one of them has a ‘normal’ English name.
‘Why are the Candidates Department so keen on these foreign names?!!!! Maybe I should change my name to something foreign – how does Petrado Indiano Hobbinso sound to you?!’
Mr Hobbins also said he was fed up with reading about ‘Africa’ on the CVs of would-be candidates.
A Tory spokesman said: ‘Councillor Hobbins has been immediately suspended from the Conservative Party and from the Conservative Group on Bromley council and he will play no part in the selection of the Parliamentary candidate. There is no room for racism in the Conservative Party.’

The man was actually making a serious point. It is arguably true that Anglo voters are more likely to vote for candidates with Anglo names. Any political party in England that puts up a candidate with an obviously foreign name may well be doing a bit of foot-shooting.

However, if the british didn't like weird names perhaps they shouldn't have been an empire in the past. The british used to have colonies all over the world in Africa, India, the caribbean, and they have friendly immigration policies towards people from those inferior nations, so there you go, you reap what you sow.
America on the other hand was smarter, we're only stuck with Guam, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
"There is no room for racism in the Conservative Party."
There's obviously no room for common sense either! This is what happens when a country puts out the welcome mat for everyone and anyone. It becomes an international public toilet, like the US.
Well, Bobby, that didn't stop a lot of muslims coming live in the US, who I don't think came from Guam, Puerto Rico or Hawaii.
The so-called conservitive party has been hijacked by a bunch of upper-class timewastersthat are now almost indestiguishable from the Labour (socialist) party here - its curent leader , David cameron, has had only one job outside of parliment , a PR rep for a televsion company , and spends more time giving interviews for the "Guardian" newspaper here (middle class leftist paper - think New york Times) the addressing the conservative base.This is no longer the party of Baroness Thatcher.

I think people are getting dumber, with each passing month.
Welcome to the modern dark ages. Well not so dark age, just the age of stupidity.
I wonder how our descendants look upon us, as embarrassment or thinking what the heck were we thinking.
"Muslims are a tiny minority of the US population, when was the last time a US city as known as Londonistan?"... bobby
First of all, there are far more muslims in the US than you think. And there are large cities (Detroit to name but one) where they have considerable control of the political process. Also, i recall people saying the same thing that you've said (above) when the first few illegal Mexicans came here. Are THEY still a "tiny" minority? WAKE UP!
Well, I lived in Detroit, and other than Dearborn, Michigan, the rest of Detroit is pretty muslim free.
I will admit you're right about the Mexicans, honestly, I cringed when Obama had a "Latino Party" at the White House and was dancing to that disgusting Spanish music.
But I don't blame the Mexicans, it's the liberals fault for encouraging so much political correctness. If you go to Mexico you'll find that Spanish is the official language, there's no press 2 for English, no bilingual education unless you go to an American school in Mexico.
The Mexicans are proud of their culture, their own laws won't permit foreigners to protest in their country and they will deport people that come to the country illegally.
But in America it's too late, how do you deal with 10 million illegals? The cost of shipping all of them out would be unbearable.
I dont know Bobby.. The cost couldnt be that much worse than letting 10million illegals stay..
