    Yep as it is ok to discriminate on sex, gender, ethnicity, religion, age and political belief where it is a specific qualification for the job.

    So for example a Tory government minister can refuse to employ someone who is an active and vocal member of the Labour party. A care home can refuse to employ a woman and employ a man instead if they want someone to wash the intimate body areas of their disabled old male customers. A Church can refuse to hire a Muslim volunteer for their religious playgroup. A newspaper who wants the views of people under 25 can refuse to hire someone who is 35 for the job etc.
    A website administrator who wants a crap forum can refuse to hire moderators with an IQ above 75.

      If you are going to discriminate against people you need to use a bit of commonsense. So all the website admin has to do is set a test and those that fail get the job.

        So if you asked someone if they voted Brexit
        Then you could be in trouble; voting is done in secret and efforts to subvert that are frowned on. I would be wary of framing any questions that could be construed as determining how a candidate voted.

            It's the act of asking that's dodgy, if they freely volunteer then that's ok. Although they could say they didn't when they did so it's a pointless question. Are you referring to a MP in your example? if so that's different as it's a public vote.
