This <2% population are not uniformly distributed.

And identity politics can and do win you seats in local councils, senates, congresses, and so on.

This is the very common mistake by identity politics deniers. They always say that <minority group> population is x% where x << 100. But what they forget, willingly or unwillingly, is that population is not uniformly distributed over the country and are concentrated in some parts, and a party, by appeasing the <minority> can and do win seats in democratic elections.

I have seen this first hand in multiple places.

>A Shikh party

wtf? NDP is led by Jagmeet Singh, who happens to be Sikh. That doesn't make NDP Sikh. What a ridiculous line of thought.

Jagmeet Singh has strong ties to Khalistani leaders [0].
