I'm not an "American liberal" and I wasn't the one focused on race. I said "old white guys" and two people called me racist. I defended myself by pointing out that the group membership is 97% white. I could care less what their race is, but that number is (more or less) a fact.
Sorry about that, forgot to call you a sexist and ageist.
The point is that you didn't complain that only a small part of society (members of the ruling party) could choose their political leader, which seems perfectly democratic to me, but that it was a small number of old white men.
My stated point is that the group is not that representative of the British people as a whole. Do you contest that?
Why on earth would society as a whole get to choose the leader of a political party?
Even if they had a perfect societal melanin mix they wouldn't be representative of the Britisch population as they are all conservatives...
But I guess you are one of those people who see diversity as "representative mix of melanin levels" instead of people with different viewpoints and ideas.
