Researchers in the UK believe that Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) voters in this General Election could hold the keys to 10 Downing Street.
A racial demographic shift, which has seen more BME communities move out of cities and into the suburbs, may mean that the ethnic minority vote will have a big impact on as many as 168 marginal seats.
Omar Khan from race equality think tank The Runnymede Trust says politicians must better represent the needs of the BME diaspora in the UK, otherwise they risk losing this support both in the 2015 election and in future elections.
Political campaign group Operation Black Vote has introduced a 'Black Manifesto' to make politicians aware of the needs of the BME communities in Britain and highlight the need to rid the country of race inequality.
And according to the Runnymede Trust, one of the major issues for Britain's Black African communities is immigration.
