i think that there is an interesting opportunity but it depends on how we latch on to it. what is clear is that race can be put back on the agenda as happened in the 1980s and early 1990s when discrimination was much sharper. in the 2000s we all pretended that the issues had been wrapped up there was social mobility for us. suddenly it has dawned on the two main parties that there are problems. so yes a movement is possible now and i think that it will attract more people if though it is about politics it is not about party political and how we must plumb for one party instead of another. i think other communities with political power do not necessarily all go out in support of one party against another. The issue however is that are we still going to protest or are we going to progress the agenda of inclusion
