Vote UK Almanac of British Politics - development

I wonder how Turks classify themselves on the Ethnic category. Other White? Other Asian? Any other ethnic group? Edmonton ranks first on that last category (and high on the others too)

The "Ethnic Group (detailed)" table in the census gives some clues - in 2011 the totals for England were:

White - Turkish: 62,355
Mixed/Multiple - Turkish: 6,403
Asian - Turkish: 6,286
Other - Turkish: 26,589

So the majority would have fallen under "Other White", but all of the groups you mention would be fairly common too (I assume any selecting "Mixed/Multiple" would come under "Other Mixed"). In Enfield specifically, which Edmonton would fall under, the figures are 11,241, 672, 876, and 3,995 respectively, so the community there is slightly more likely to identify as white (67% vs 61%).

The news has been posted in the Rest In Peace thread but I thought I'd also note here that Byron Criddle has died. He wrote the MP profiles for the Almanac of British Politics.

Just a thought, for the Welsh seats it might be helpful to include Welsh speakers in the statistics, whether that is people claiming proficiency or people who speak Welsh at home

We now have entries for 550 constituencies, just 100 still untouched. A few of the 550 still need proper profiles - but, slowly, we're getting there

Tonight would be a good time for writing one or two, while we await the result from Bexley.
