Summary

Race and Elections, covers ethnic minority voters, candidates,
the far right, UKIP, religious mobilisation, registration and BME groups
in Scotland. It reveals that the parties were only half as likely to
contact ethnic minority as white British voters in 2010. They need to
close that gap this month, or they may be losing votes that could make
all the difference.
