Media coverage of the recent election in France failed to focus on the extent to which the migrant vote shapes electoral outcomes.<\/p>\n

While emphasis was placed on increased voter turnout and the victory of the left-wing over right-wing political players, there was a noticeable absence of attention on increased consideration for policies of religious freedoms and the rights of migrants within French politics.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s Media Lens on Radio Islam International with Hafidh Ibrahim Deen revealed that increased voter turnout generally translates into more support for the left, \u201cand the left tends to have a more pro-immigrant and pro-religious freedom stance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deen added that for the first time, there is space within the French political sphere for parties that appear to have a genuine concern for the political rights of immigrants and migrants.<\/p>\n

Comparably, media coverage of the election in the United Kingdom failed to focus on the success of some independent candidates who were running against Labour\u2019s support for Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was also very little focus on how this has actually meant that Labour has shifted. In the past few days, we\u2019ve seen labour appoint an attorney general who is very critical of Israel and has said that they now won\u2019t be part of the case that tries to limit the power of the ICT,\u201d Deen said.<\/p>\n

With President Emmanuel Macron expected to hold office until 2027, very little is expected to change in terms of European politics as a direct result of this election, Deen noted. \u201cIf change is going to happen, it will be towards the right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The impact of the UK election on European politics might result in more willingness to negotiate over Brexit, considering Labour\u2019s opposition to Brexit. Additionally, European immigration policies and those regarding Africa are also likely to change towards the right.<\/p>\n
