The Labour candidate in Bradford West was Islamic, but was, in the vernacular, a coconut.
He milks a constituency (in all senses of the word) that through tradition, heritage and economy is ill-equipped to involve itself in a democratic process and gives it a belief in what he can do for itself.
He then goes onto X Factor, abandons his constituents, but leaves them with a greater understanding of how they can embrace a political system.
