General Election 2024: How will Britain's ethnically diverse communities vote?

Britain could soon have its most diverse parliament ever but how will voters from ethnically diverse communities act at the ballot box?

The handling of the conflict in the Middle East has damaged the two major parties in the eyes of British Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities.

However, exclusive YouGov polling for Sky News shows that's only one of several trends that may play out at the ballot box next week.

"Ethnically diverse" apparently doesnt mean "ethnically diverse". Apparently it actually means "non-white"

Why are people stressing about Gaza when most of us can't even afford to live?

Why on earth, in 2024, is the media still worried about people’s race and ethnicity 🤦‍♂️

I'm a Sikh, and in my asian community I was surprised how many are rejecting Labour and voting Reform. Muslims around here are going for the independents for the Palestine/Gaza conflict and not Labour. Me and my family will be voting Reform.

As in the past, the UK media class continue to report with ambiguous terms like "ethnically diverse" (in the past it was BME or BAME or 'British Asian'). The list of issues at 1:28 (Cost of Living, NHS, Economy, Housing) are concerns for all Brits regardless of their skin pigmentation. The 5th issue on the list (Gaza & Israel) is not one that concerns all 'ethnic minorities', but one that concerns a very specific group.

Gaza a priority to Pakistanis living here. Says it all.

If Bangladeshi and Pakistani determining UK elections outcomes then something is definitely wrong with the country.

Do British Indians usually vote for the Conservatives at a greater rate than the country? Or is it just because Rishi Sunak is Indian? Concerning if people are voting for leaders based on skin colour and not skill

There is Reform rally right now in Birmingham..and it is packed out...and the amount of young people there is incredible.

[KJ-jspi]

Makes sense why Labour are so keen to open the borders and voting eligibility

[JohnWilloughby-kbjl]

I'd love to know where they are getting their figures from because all I am Hearing is people voting for reform.😂😂

[lecturesfromleeds]

Starmer isn't anything like Boris Johnson that could get away with saying whatever he wants, Starmer has a boring personality so really needs to be careful

[albertjack]

My vote has already been posted from overseas. Time for ReformUK

[munkbok]

sky news avoiding mentioning George Galloway lmao

[livyalexx]

So curious to see how Britain's diverse communities will shape the election! 🗳🌍 Let's hope for representation and positive change!

[Moistrazmataz]

I think immigration should be highest on that list as affects all of them priorities.

[capmultser]

Unless they have been here 5 years and paid tax they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

"They'll all vote the bleedin' same won't they?"- Reform UK

[jayfernando]

I'm a minority and I voted Reform 😊 👍 let's get our country back.

[jamesunsworth]

It says alot about the Labour party if half of their voters are from an ethnic minority/foreign country.
