The post you are reporting:
selection panels should be like jon interviews.
the interviewer wants the person that is best equipped to take the company forward, hence the age, race, colour, flavour etc does not enter the equation.
political parties do not look at things that way, in the last constituency that i lived in the asian population was over half the population, the white english made up about a quarter.
the labour party put in a white candidate in the early nineties, a chap called mike gapes, been elected ever since.
overturned a decent blue majority, since then the other parties keep bringing in sikh, hindu and muslim candidates and get nowhere.
the simple fact is that ethnic minorities are not that gullible, they look for the party and candidate that is the best for the job.
