I agree with the notion that the beraderi system is holding back the community and political parties are guilty of using the system for their own benefits. But whilst I agreed with the comments of Shahid Malik, I wanted to ask the question whether he himself had ever used the beraderi system whilst out canvassing for the Labour Party?

Are we to believe that whenever most of our councillors or political activisits are seeking election they have never used used the beraderi system to canvass more votes for themselves or their parties?

We would be very foolish if we did.
