The workshop, organised in partnership with the Institute for Social Change, Manchester University and TNS-BMRB, will address the following questions:
- Are some minorities less likely to register or turn out to vote?
- What are the special political concerns of minorities?
- Do minorities continue to show in 2010 the overwhelming support for Labour that they used to show in the past?
- Are there now growing divisions - for example between South Asians and Black voters, or between Muslim and non-Muslim?
- How satisfied are minority voters with their representation?
- How satisfied are minorities with the way British democracy works?
- Are there signs of alienation and disaffection from Britain on the part of young Muslims or young Blacks?
The workshop is taking place at the TNS-BMRB office, 6 More London Place, London SE1 2QY.
