  • Many UK politicians hail from immigrant families and ethnic minorities, such as Rishi Sunak, Humza Yousaf, Vaughan Gething, and Sadiq Khan.
  • Ethnic origin does not seem to define or differentiate political leaders in the UK anymore.
  • Despite background of strict migratory policies, the British citizenship does not view race or religion as an impediment to political leadership.
  • Political representation of ethnic minorities in the UK has improved, but racism, elitism, and classism still persist.

Conclusion: The growing diversity in UK's political leadership signals a significant shift in political representation. However, there remains work to be done in areas like racism, classism, and elitism.
