Thanks. 
Didn't think it was all that high. Not much of a impact on elections, huh?
It varies. In some seats with large ethnic minority populations (Bradford West for example) racial and sectarian factors dominate politics (the Labour M.P is a Sikh. Muslims do not vote for Sikhs. So the Tories stand a Muslim every election).
Overall Asians have a bigger impact than Blacks
Do blacks or asians hold any seats?
At least one, I was watching a black woman make some comments toward Blair when he meets with the House of Commons and they show it on C-Span.
Some guy from the Scottish National Party was decrying Blair for "being on his knees" in regards to America, but Tony quickly refuted him saying something about the man's usual lack of good judgement, and said that an alliance with the United States is very important, etc -- always entertaining.
