Attracting the support of ethnic minorities has been a challenge for the Conservative Party, with support traditionally lagging behind Labour. For this reason, the recent news that the party significantly boosted its share of the vote in the recent election has provided Conservatives with (another) reason to be cheerful.
This is an encouraging sign, but complacency would be a mistake. The Conservative Party needs to be asking itself what more it can do to further strengthen its appeal to ethnic minority voters, especially as they are set to rise significantly as a proportion of the electorate in the coming years.
