Eight Muslim representatives including three women have joined the British House of Commons in the recent parliamentary elections in the United Kingdom.
八名穆斯林代表包括3名婦女，在英國最近舉行的議會選舉後加入英國下議院。
Setting a new record for the representation of Asians in the UK, a record number of 18 candidates, including eight Muslims, secured seats in the general elections held on May 6.
創下一個亞洲人代表在英國的新紀錄，一項18名候選人的紀錄數字，其中包括8名穆斯林，在5月6日舉行的大選獲取席位。
The vote saw three Muslim women from the Labour Party elected as lawmakers for the first time.
投票結果發現首次有三名工黨穆斯林婦女當選為國會議員。
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) declared the elections proved to be a “milestone for Britain's Muslims.”
英國穆斯林理事會（MCB）宣布，選舉證明是“英國穆斯林的里程碑。”
“These elections have ushered in the age of the discerning British Muslim voter. No party and no candidate can take the Muslim vote for granted,” the MCB said.
“這些選舉迎來時代顯出英國的穆斯林選民是有識別力的，沒有黨和沒有候選人可以理所當然地取去穆斯林的票“MCB說。
Britain's opposition Conservatives led by David Cameron garnered 306 seats to become the biggest party in parliament. Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour party came in second with 258 seats and was followed by the Liberal Democrats with 57.
Britain has not had a hung parliament since 1974 and the future of the parliament remains highly uncertain, with some commentators already forecasting another election if no government is formed.
