Examining the implications of increasing levels of electoral representation of ethnic minority elites, this text studies their political integration in Britain, as well as the functioning of the British party system. For example, it considers whether elected office is likely to be an effective political channel for ethnic minorities, and it looks at the ways ethnic minority elite attitudes and behaviour may influence Britain's political system, either directly or indirectly, through their effect on the political integration of ethnic minorities at the mass level. The book also seeks to provide an understanding of the attitudes and behaviour of the elected representatives of the ethnic minority population, offers comparisons across ethnic groups, and presents original research data on British ethnic minority political attitudes.
