Yep, wrong to assume BAME constituents would only vote for a BAME candidate.
Wrong to assume Diane Abbott's constituents are “overwhelmingly BAME”.
And wrong to assume she was the only BAME candidate at the last general election.
Bullshit 0 Reality 3
Yes, Abbot is prone to making errors when speaking in public (a bit of a problem for a politician) and I don't agree with many of her views.
But I have HUGE respect for her. Jack Monroe explains why you should too.
