Muslim News reports:

The next leader of the Liberal Democrats must take into account and address the lack of ethnic minority in the British parliament, according to Muslim representative Fiyaz Mughal.

“The party has single handedly failed to take issue on of the most important aspects around political inclusion and democratic participation,” Mughal warned in a statement obtained by IRNA Monday.

“The Liberal Democrats have no MP’s in the House of Commons from a black or minority ethnic community,” said the chair of the Liberal Democrat’s Black and Minority Ethnic Forum.
