"Imagine a white person saying voting should be fixed so that only a white person could be chosen in the Cotswolds for example. Put up white black green yellow candidates and let the constituents decide Diane Abbott has said Labour should ban white candidates from standing for the party in certain constituencies, in an attempt to increase the number of ethnic minority MPs in parliament. The shadow home secretary suggested it is time for the party to require all potential candidates in select constituencies to be nonwhite, with local Labour parties required to pick a candidate from a minority background." Utter shambles. Next they'll say women deserve a vote. Shame on them. | |||

"Rather than talking about curtailing candidates on ethnic grounds how about the onus being put on the parties to nominate people from the very community they represent and come from. There would be no need for this then as hopefully it would occur naturally over time base on the areas demographics. Or is that not sensible enough?

I don't know why so many trust them because they say they believe in what they do. Farage - old conservative May - Remainer, loves immigration Geert Wilders - old conservative, never left the house for over a decade. So in touch with people. Trump - Billionaire cheat, doesn't care about the people either. Blair - Conservative. New Labour = softer old conservatives I could name Labour members but I'm only familiar with JC as an old friend of our community. I'm not Labour. Waiting for the righty lefty party to appear.

" Shortlist is the complete opposite of ban. What if the shortlist only has one name on it?" This is a shortlist of female MPs. It's how they increase female representatives. Or do you believe men and women are treated equally? Plus this is to be a candidate in a constituent. | |||

"Is she not commiting a race crime I wonder she should be prosicuted" Not Diane Abbott but there has been some pretty vile anti semitic comments made at some of the fringe Labour meetings around their conference in Brighton. So much so that the Brighton council leader last night threatened to ban the party over anti semitism.

" I hope you realise it was an israeli american jew who made those comments.Not a British citizen.He was born in Jerusalem. ..But nice try centaur.. Israeli-American author Miko Peled told a conference fringe meeting Labour members should support the freedom to “discuss every issue, whether it’s the holocaust, yes or no, whether it’s Palestine liberation - the entire spectrum.

"Imagine a white person saying voting should be fixed so that only a white person could be chosen in the Cotswolds for example. Put up white black green yellow candidates and let the constituents decide Diane Abbott has said Labour should ban white candidates from standing for the party in certain constituencies, in an attempt to increase the number of ethnic minority MPs in parliament. The shadow home secretary suggested it is time for the party to require all potential candidates in select constituencies to be nonwhite, with local Labour parties required to pick a candidate from a minority background. you might think it is loony.... i would say this... is it any worse than than the tories labour and lib dems who have ALL at one time promoted all women short lists..... after all... in many inner city constituences people who are non white may make up a big number of the people in them......." Its not loony at all.All i see is an attempt to level things up.Positive discrimination is illegal as far as i know but positive action isn't . In fact its in law.You can hire a black man over a white man if they are equally qualified on the grounds they come from underrepresented groups . | |||

Let's take the football analogy. She isn't saying shortlist a black guy. She's says let's shortlist English players since they're likely to succeed and make a better success in the England team. Or an analogy of the problem. We're hiring coaches that speaks only French for an all English team. | |||

That way you vote for a party and which person you want to represent you"So the sum of candidate votes in a party chooses the party and highest voted candidate gets the job? Oh highest candidate gets it? If the latter it cannibalised the other party candidate votes. Then it becomes tactical i.e. putting unfavourable candidates so the popular one gets the most. | |||

If you're looking for the best possible candidate, being forced to look outside what you would default to is a pretty good idea. But apparently the FA felt that with the wealth of white talent at their disposal this was something they could do without. Then they hired Sam Allardyce. | |||

I do think children being educated in a multicultural multi faith environment can very useful.However this isnt happening.We segregate our children based on faith and social status.How many generations before we are free of discrimination if we take the softly softly approach. I think we prefer to sweep this issue under the carpet and ignore it and hope it all works out fine. . | |||

"The whole idea is a joke. We had this madness in football a few years ago where it was suggested that when football teams are looking for a new manager then at least one black candidate or person of colour should be put on the shortlist for the job. Nothing to do with their ability to do the job or how good a football manager they are they get selected on the shortlist simply because of the colour of their skin. The idea didn't last long in the football world and the idea was thrown on the scrapheap of history where it belongs. actually.... this whole post is rubbish! for several reasons i will explain it is actually called the "rooney rule" in the states (because it was championed by pittsburgh steelers owner dan rooney) because in a league that was primarily black... the coaches and head coaches were majority white..... so all that was asked is that on all coaching shortlists... there must be at least one minority candidate, because the theory being because they were not being interviewed and people seeing what talent their was... they were being held back... it has worked in the NFL.... and the NBA.... it is actually being piloted in the EFL for academy jobs and above..... Key figures from the 'Rooney Rule' pilot 123 academy jobs were advertised on the EFL website. The EFL received data relating to 76 of those jobs. 1,497 applications were received for those 76 jobs. In 170 of the applications, the candidate defined their ethnicity as BAME (11%). 18% of the 1,497 applications led to an interview, increasing to 31% for all BAME applicants, and 52% for the 99 applications made by BAME candidates who were suitably qualified for the role. 11 BAME candidates were appointed to the 76 jobs (14%). This is a UK site with majority of UK posters. When the term 'football' is used here it means football as in the FIFA variation, maybe I should have put 'soccer' in the post just for your benefit.
American football is always referred to as 'American football' by Brits and no where in my post did I mention the word 'American'. The idea of having shortlists for black managers in the F.A Premier league or the championship or lower football (soccer) divisions died on its arse years ago, because it's a shit idea that no one liked. Football (soccer) Managers should and always will be selected on talent and ability to do the job here rather than colour of skin and frankly that's the way it should be.
don't patronise me.. i know exactly what you mean... and the EFL is the english football League... as is the same EFL they advertise on sky!!!
I take it you watch the championship... league 1 and league 2.... yep... that EFL!!!

By your own admission this has not been fully implemented in the EFL the evidence you provided only points to a pilot scheme.
