Will Britain ever elect a Black/Asian Prime Minister?

Question

With America on the brink of electing Obama, can you see "multi-cultural" Britain ever electing a Black/Asian PM?

Answer 1

Britain does not elect a Prime Minister, so far as I know.

Answer 2

In Britain we don't elect a Prime minister, we elect the party, so if there was a Black or Asian leader of the elected party then yes that would happen.  

Answer 3

Well we have already elected a female prime minister so we are ahead of the USA as they havent had a female president or a black one yet for that matter!  Yes I think we probably will have a non white PM at some point.  Couldnt really tell you when, there seems to be no one on the radar at the moment though.

Answer 4

I don't see why not, at the moment there is no quality in the political party leadership, it would be nice to get someone good.

Answer 5

I don't think people would change political alliance if their party was led by Black/Asian man/women of whatever religion.

Answer 6

well britain don't elect prime ministers, we elect the party, so really it's not up to us. if a black/asian person takes lead of a political party, then he can become prime minister, if his party wins.

Answer 7

Probably.  These folks are a part of the UK population.

Answer 8

Depends what his/her party's policies were. If the majority agree with them, then there is no reason why his/her party wouldn't be elected. It's becoming quite a annoying that Britain is made out to be a racist country when we bend over backwards, giving away our rights (as a Caucasian) to try a settle old grievenses that no longer exist.

Answer 9

britian should only elect brittish prime ministers

Answer 10

If he was the right man to become the leader of a Party which was elected into power, yes.

Answer 11

no reason why not some day

Answer 12

Maybe after Obama loses here he will move there to try it.  Supposedly he is more popular there than he is here anyway.  His beliefs sure fit in better over there.

Answer 13

I wouldn't be surprised  

Answer 14

Don`t see why not.

Answer 15

Not in the foreseeable future.

Answer 16

Don't know about you but I don't give a monkey's about a politician's skin colour or genitalia. I'll vote for them on policies, not pigmentation or penises.

Answer 17

The British people do not elect a Prime minister,that position is decided only by MPs.They do not elect a head of state or "representatives" in the House of lords

Answer 18

No reason why not to. If he has got the skills doesnt matter what colour he is. If hes good for the people of this country then let him be any colour.
