New Government, New Politics & New Dawn
Administrator on May 12th, 2010
Today, we saw the dawn of a new horizon for British politics when the two leaders of our new coalition Government stood shoulder to shoulder as they promised to work together in the interests of the country. Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg have both pledged a new approach to politics which is built on cross-party co-operation as opposed to conflict, putting aside party differences to work for the “common good and national interest.”
The new Cabinet includes the first Muslim woman to serve in a British Cabinet, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, who is also the Conservative Party Chairman. First time election of two Muslim MPs from the Conservative Party is also a welcom. We hope they serve the community that they belong and the community that they represent to the best of their abilities. We hope and pray that all nine Muslim MPs that have been elected or re-elected are role models for Muslims in the UK.
Imam of Makkah Mosque, Qari Asim said “we wish the first coalition Government for 60 years all the best for the challenges which lie ahead , in particular economic and political instability. We also urge the newly formed Government to follow the example of its predecessor, Gordon Brown in investing in enhancing community cohesion and inter-faith co-operation.
It is also encouraging that for the first time since 1922 (apart from the three-party 1940-45 War Cabinet) Liberals will be involved in contributing to the UK government. We hope that the new coalition Government results in revitalisation of all aspects of UK civil society.”
