David Cameron initiate an official enquiry into Islamophobia in the London Mayoral Election

To initiate a formal, public and independent enquiry into Islamophobic electioneering by Zac Goldsmith in his campaign for London Mayor.

Why is this important?

The election has been marred by Islamophobic claims made against the Labour Candidate for The London Mayoral Election. This has brought British Democracy into disrepute and will exacerbate distrust in and disillusionment with the electoral system and UK Government by both Islamic people and other minorities. This sets a dangerous precedent for future elections, will divide society further, will increase a sense amongst British minorities that they cannot expect fair and just treatment from British Government and reduce the sense amongst many that there is any point in engaging in democracy. It may in addition increase the risk of instability in The UK.
