Smethwick in the 1964 general election
The West Midlands constituency of Smethwick gained national media coverage in the 1964 general election when Peter Griffiths of the Conservative Party gained the seat against the national trend amidst allegations of racism.
==Background==
After the Second World War, Smethwick attracted a significant number of immigrants from Commonwealth countries, the largest ethnic group being Sikhs from the Punjab in India. There was also a background of factory closures and a growing waiting list for local council accommodation. Griffiths ran a campaign critical of the opposition's, and the government's, immigration policies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.channel4.com/programmes/britains-racist-election/on-demand/59088-001 )〕
The Conservatives were widely reported as using the slogan "if you want a nigger for a neighbour, vote Labour." Though the Conservatives claimed that these posters were the work of far right groups, Griffiths was quoted as saying "I should think that is a manifestation of popular feeling. I would not condemn anyone who said that."
