Outspoken Conservative MP: Mandela

Mandela: The outspoken Conservative MP was the sole parliamentarian to vote against making Mandela an honorary citizen in 2001, preventing the motion from passing unanimously, according to Huffington Post. "Nelson Mandela advocated violence and used violence to achieve his aims," he said. "It is very politically correct to go ahead and lionize him, but there are problems in South Africa today and we are glossing over these things." It appears Rob Anders still believes Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. Anders, a Canadian Alliance MP at the time, infamously labeled the anti-apartheid leader and former South African president "a terrorist and a Communist." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
