Another Tory seat

tell SAS he was upset the ethnic minority percentage of parliament was at 2004 levels not 2016 levels.

In the lefty playbook being jewish doesn't count, now if he were a Palestinian cross dressing belly dancer.....

I think you are wrong there.

His Jewish parents were Polish so probably refugees. His grandmother was shot in bed by Nazi soldiers, and he disliked Israel so much he spoke on platforms with Palestinians.

In other words perfect for leftie politics.

He was quite a sensible chap really, I was just having a dig at SAS. His belief the ethnic makeup 600 people should exactly mirror the current fast changing society when people spend 40+ years in Parliament is quite amusing.

There is inertia so it's better to look at the change i.e. those who have become MPs over the last few years. How many new MPs have there been in the last 5 years and how do they compare against parliament as a whole, and against the population?

30% of MPs identify as female. So no MPs aren't representative of the population.

And I've only brought this up as this is the easiest one to start with.

indeed a completely sensible answer, you would expect a statistics expert to realise that.

Feck that reminds me how I hated those SWP people who sold that stupid paper.

Imperial college one time named their rag week paper "Fascist Layabout". They'd stand right next to the SWP folk, and add insult to injury by selling far more copies. "Fascist Layabout. Get your Fascist Layabout".

As I said, what about recent appointments rather than the whole populations?

Is this data easily available in a way that lets us answer the questions?

I got it from a news article but you can have a look yourself here - linky

Then as both men and women can be disabled and approximately 19% of the population are suppose to be disabled according to this I will see if I can find any figures for MPs.
