Hmm, I wonder if that Guled Qasim guy ever won.

[Lord Diplock]

What about that Ogadeen guy running for office in Maryland? has he got a chance in hell of winning Abdiwahab?

[Basra-]

NO.

Dip, that's the same guy Im talking about. Did you see his campaign page? I was reading it the other day, alot of spelling.grammar errors. Im guessing he didn't write it, but someone should proof read it. That sends a very bad image. I do hope he wins tho!

He served in the US marines, would that help in electioneering?

In this country very few MPs or politicians in general have served in the British military, most of our MPs are either businessmen or ex-city (London stock exchange) ppl for Conservatives or lawyers and career politicians among the Labour party ranks.

He sounds impressive, wish him all the best.

Right, but then you guys also opperate under a class system and although it's not as prevelent as it used to be, it's still very much there.
He is impressive indeed, best wishes to him.

[AbdiWahab252]

Lord, his chances are slim but you never know. His race is a minor one, for state house.

the fact he is running is awesome.

I hope to run someday as a Republican. AW Jim Ale (those Muslim names are a political kill joy)

The funny thing is people like Blair and Brown have the same background (educational wise) with the leading figures in the Conservative party.

There is no question this is a class bases society and sadly I cant see it changing soon.

Any class system in the United States? Ivy league and all that Hannah?
