According to a recent survey by the BBC, Asians are the least likely to vote during the coming UK general elections. Within Asians unsurprisingly, British Pakistanis are the very least likely to vote. Only 38 percent of Pakistanis said they intend to vote in the coming elections, compared to 45 percent for Asians as a whole. Is it because 62 percent of British Pakistanis aren't fond of any of their local candidates, or more likely, is it because they don't know their candidates at all?
Here is the inherent problem with Pakistanis anywhere in the world; be it the US, UK, or Canada, Pakistanis fail to assimilate. In fact, as most of them ignore local customs, practices, and values, it seems they refuse to integrate. Over the years they've developed a strange practice of leaving Pakistan, and creating 'Little Pakistans" in every major city of the world; managing to disrepute the nation in the process. So how would you expect Pakistanis to vote during British elections, when most of them think they're still in Pakistan?
