How representative will the election be?


Interesting article here from the Guardian exploring how well minorities are represented within Parliament, and whether the election will do anything to change this. There are currently 15 MPs from ethnic minorities (13 are Labour MPs) but things may well improve after May 6. The Conservatives for example have 44 candidates from ethnic minorities, and up to 10 of them may be in winnable seats. What are your thoughts?
