Peter Black AM weighs in:

I am supporting the Reflecting Britain campaign because I believe that the Liberal Democrats need to better reflect the diverse society we live in at all levels. In particular we need more Parliamentarians who are women or from ethnic minority backgrounds.

This though is not just about the Liberal Democrats. If the mainstream political parties fail to be open and welcoming to all then disillusion with and alienation from the political system will grow. This campaign is about engaging with people at the broadest possible level. It must not become yet another badge or label, it must be the start of real action to secure the inclusive society that Britain needs.

   Pleased though I am to see this initiative starting to take off, it doesn’t half illustrate the problem when you come to the site and are hit in the face with three consectutive smiley photos of white males!

   A little unfair as it is purely coincidental that 3 white males signed up at around the same time, but I take your point.

   Hopefully, the new supporters sidebar should help rectify matters!
