ethnicity

• Relevant - BAME voters likely to align more with Labour -> introduced the first Race Relations Act in 1965
• Relevant - Survey for British Future in 2015 found that 1.6m minorities voted Labour and 1m Conservatives
• Relevant - East Ham (most ethnically diverse constituency) voted 83% for Labour in 2017
• Relevant - in 2017 Conservative won only 5/75 most diverse constituencies
• Relevant - Conservatives seen as hostile to immigrants -> 1968 Rivers of Blood speech by Powell + 2016 Windrush scandal
• Not relevant - Relevance tied to class. Commonwealth immigrants likely to fall in C2 + DE categories so choose Labour for their high welfare spending
