Minorities report: the attitudes of Britain’s ethnic minority population

The UK in a Changing Europe Podcast

In this episode of the UK in a Changing Europe podcast, Anand Menon sits down with UKICE researchers Sophie Stowers and Zain Mohyuddin to discuss their recently published 'Minorities report: the attitudes of Britain’s ethnic minority population'. Research suggests that ethnic minority voters often have political and social views at variance with those held by the population as a whole, and indeed by other ethnic groups. Yet we often lack the data to examine these attitudes and how they differ. The 'Minorities report: the attitudes of Britain’s ethnic minority population' aims to set that right. It attempts to look at the diversity of political opinion, social values and economic preferences not just between Britain’s white and non-white population, but between different ethnic and religious groups. The report looks not just at voting and elections, but more broadly at questions of identity, tolerance, and experiences of race and discrimination. It covers political views and values at both the 2019 and 2024 elections, questions of identity, being ‘British’, discrimination and prejudice, and economic preferences and social values.
