If the article had purely been "Muslim woman marginalised in Labour" and even vaguely mentioned "considers switching to another party", fine.

But no. The article is BASED not on the fact that she feels shut out, but specifically on the fact that she wants to switch from Labour to Conservative.

That is the over-riding message.

Labour smearing? Check. Tory trumpet blowing? Check. Exploitation of current emotive issues (Muslims AND women! Whammy!)? Double check.

Our survey says: *bing bing bing bing* Tory press bullshyeet. .

The article isn't based on that at all though. It's a report by Muslim Women's Network UK, a group which has also called on the PM to do more to remove the barriers to political participation for ethnic minority women. In fact the Conservatives aren't even mentioned in the OP article, that's just something arista has apparently seen on the news.
