The Ethnic Minority Election Task Force have called a ‘Special’ Leadership Hustings to specifically address the issue of how the Leadership Contenders intend to move forward the agenda of making Liberal Democrats more appealing to ethnic minorities. They also want to hear their views on what they intend to do to ensure we have proper ethnic minority representation in Parliament and on local councils across the country in order to reflect the diverse culture of modern day Britain.

Venue: National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2HE,
Date & Time: 14th. February 2006, at 6.30 pm

The Candidates have now all signed up to the Reflecting Britain Campaign. Now they are being asked to go further and outline their plans in more detail. They are being asked to say how they intend to make the Party’s Policies more relevant to the modern day diverse multi ethnic Britain as well as to expand on their plans, end the ethnic deficit within the Party structures – both Parliamentary and organisational.

Although these hustings have been organised specifically with the ethnic minority PPC, Councillors and members in mind, EMETF wants the attendance to reflect the Party as a whole. Please pass the details of this hustings on to your colleagues.

If you plan to attend, please email Rabi Martins to allow EMETF to keep an eye on numbers.
