I'm trying to understand the meaning of smart, all purpose ethnic minority groups. Can Ambo clarify?
I don't think there is any official record of the ethnicity of members of Lords or Commons, nor of their religion. Wikipedia however list Alan Mak, Havant (C), as being first MP of Chinese/East Asian heritage to be elected. In my mind that there are a couple of Lords from that heritage too but I may be wrong.
In order to be elected to Commons you first need to be selected a prospective candidate in a winnable seat. Are there active members of the UK Chinese community in the main parties?
