Susanne Lamido is the first blogger to come out in support of the Reflecting Britain campaign, and fills in some of the background to the campaign:

Following the successful BME motion at the London Region’s Autumn conference prepared by Mark Valerdares of Liberal Bureaucracy the Region has submitted a motion for debate at the Federal Spring Conference which has been accepted.

The website Reflecting Britain has been set up which explains some of the thinking behind the motion. It call on the Leadership contenders to address the gender and ethnic balance with 5 poignant questions being asked how they propose to address the balance to reflect the cultural diversity of modern day Britain. Whether or not they will be voting for the motion to create a properly resourced Ethnic Minority Election Task Force. The existing EMETF under the Chairmanship of Cllr Rabi Martins has worked hard since it was set up 18 months ago but without resources it has been difficult to implement some of it’s plans.

She also likes our “cool” button and encourages bloggers to add it onto their websites. To do so, simply follow the instructions here.

Thanks to Stephen Glenn who has already done so.
