Last week, blogger Steve Guy pondered his moral dilemma about whether to support the Reflecting Britain campaign.

Steve has now made up his mind, and we are delighted to have his support:

I think the Reflecting Britain initiative is a genuine attempt to focus more attention on our failure to get more female and ethnic minority candidates - and for that reason I applaud it. But I would also like to see the campaign focus on why we fail to attract more grass roots activists from ethnic minority backgrounds, for it is from the local activists that the politicians of the future must emerge.

You can show your support like Steve, Ming Campbell, Simon Hughes and Chris Huhne by signing up here.

   Do you really want lots more white, predominantely middle class men who wear suits to say that we should get a more diverse representation?

   I speak as one myself, hence the reluctance to sign up.

   We’re keen to have as many people to sign up as possible. Just because you are white, male and middle-class, it doesn’t mean you can’t be part of the solution.
