Some members are concerned that the restrictions will prevent more black and ethnic minority men from being elected
SOME MEMBERS of the Labour Party have raised concerns that all-women shortlists are preventing more black and minority ethnic men from becoming MPs, according to reports.
The shortlists, a positive discrimination practice that aim to increase the number of female MPs, are the source of new tensions within the Labour Party as members look to decide who will replace Chuka Umunna, BuzzFeed News has reported.
Umunna left the party in February to join establish The Independent Group, which he is now the spokesman of.
