London, United Kingdom (April 04, 2014): As per information the Sikh Federation UK on April 01 released the names and details of the 117 UK politicians supporting the call for an independent public inquiry.
The politicians are shown alphabetically by region in documents sent to the Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) by the Sikh Federation UK.
According to the Sikh Federation these politicians represent approximately 5 million voters.
There are politicians from all 12 regions of the UK and from 9 different political groupings that are supporting the independent public inquiry – Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Greens, Plaid Cymru, DUP, SDLP, Respect and Independent.
Three-quarters of those supporting the campaign are from the Opposition Labour Party – suggesting this issue will be significant in European and local elections on 22 May 2014 and the General Election in May 2015.
60% of those supporting are current MPs, MEPs and members of the House of Lords.
The others are leading candidates in the European elections who are expected to be elected e.g. Neena Gill (West Midlands), Anneliese Dodds (South East) and leading opposition candidates in marginal constituencies e.g. Rob Marris (Wolverhampton South West), Nick Palmer (Broxtowe) who are also expected to win.
In addition, UK politicians representing a further 10 million of the electorate say:
– serious questions remain unanswered
– have asked the UK Government to publish all relevant material
– have said there might be grounds for a fuller inquiry covering a longer period
It is only a matter of time before these politicians also come out in support of an independent public inquiry as the UK Government is at the moment not responding to their demands.
The Sikh Federation UK has appealed to the Sikhs to keep pressurizing their MP and MEPs and Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs) and European Parliament candidates to support an independent public inquiry.
