‘Bone chilling’: Pro-Palestine candidate elected in the UK, Australia ‘not far off’

IPA Executive Director Daniel Wild has reacted to a pro-Palestine candidate being elected to UK parliament, and says Australia is “not far off” having their own politics driven by “religious and ethnic separatism.” British Green Party candidate Mothin Ali who won the Gipton and Harehills seat in Leeds proclaimed his election as a “win for the people of Gaza,” and shouted “Allah Akbar!” as supporters unveiled a Palestinian flag behind him. “It’s bone chilling,” Mr Wild told Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt. “Brendan O’Neill made the point Britain has gone probably further down the road of this racial, religious and ethnic separatism that is now driving some of its politics, and he said that Australia is not far off. “I think there are signs that may be happening here.”
