YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

South Asians no longer voting as a bloc could hold the balance of power in key marginal seats this General Election.

For many years the Labour Party has had the lion's share of the South Asian vote but the trend from the last two General Elections shows times are changing.

The Leave campaign - as divisive and nativist as parts of it were - achieved something that the Conservative Party has been trying to do for decades.

At this General Election, it’s the South Asian vote in the UK that could pave the way to No 10.
