Multiculturalism - Is it working? Can it work?


This poll requires two answers.

One answer to the "Is it working?" question.

One answer to the "Can it work?" question.

Racial tension spreads right across Europe. One society lives how it sees fit, another has differing views, can a multicultural society work?

I've suggested "no it isn't working but maybe it could".

This is all dependant on if the "afflicated" party can put their ego and issues behind them and live like other civilised human beings. Until then, it's useless.

Re: Multiculturalism - Is it working? Can it work?


It isn't working at the moment...... and i seriously doubt whether it can work.

People coming to this country are our guests..... and whilst we should treat them well...... they in turn have an obligation to accept that they can not and will not change our way of life.

Demonstrations like those seen on saturday are only possible because we are a democracy and people are allowed to have a say........ its sort of a paradox in that.... the people were being allowed their democrat right to protest....... but they were protesting against Denmarks democrat free press laws.........

Ever thought of running for parliament? That is the same feelings I have. It can not work if one religion/faith will let that religion/faith dictate the way it lives not the law of the country, which is how it should be.

Re: Multiculturalism - Is it working? Can it work?


Me in parliament?

I think i'd scare them all with my honesty and blunt way of talking.......

For instance.... during PMQ's if the Prime Minister dared say to me the usual...... 'i refer the gentleman to the answer i gave a few minutes ago' ....... I'm not sure how he would deal with the reply...... 'The prime minister had better stop talking all this beaurocratic s*it and start talking in a language that everyone can understand and stop pussyfooting around the bush with long winded answers that in the end are full of hot air...... Otherwise the Prime Minister will find him self looking like a fool when i tell the people exactly how it is"

I'm not very clear... Is this a specific situation you are referring to or a general question?

This is a general question. All societies from all walks of life. Can any faith which differs so much from another live side by side?
