Vote for the Mayor of London and the 25 members of London Assembly of your choice

On Thursday 03rd May 2012, you have the opportunity to elect the Mayor of London and the 25 members of the London Assembly; the local government body for Greater London. Candidates belonging to various political parties are contesting at this election.

British Tamils Forum as a neutral organisation representing the Tamil people in the UK, recognises the diversity of political orientation amongst Tamils.

We also recognise that British Tamils have an extra dimension to our expectations from our local and national governments, in addition to the matters that are common to all. We therefore urge Tamil Londoners to exercise their democratic right and vote for the mayoral candidate of their choice, who they believe supports what is closest to their heart.

British Tamils’ votes will make a difference in who gets elected as the Mayor of London for the next four years. As one of the strongest and politically active communities in London, with over 250,000 residents, we should cast our votes to the candidate who promises to deliver best services to the Londoners as well as standing for the rights and the best interest of the Tamils, living in London.
