Even if a BAME woman is elected, the Senedd is not fit for purpose. 1 BAME woman won't change the dynamic of the Senedd. If the Senedd had never elected a Welsh language speaking white man, there would be uproar: and its legitimacy would be questioned: so why not 4 race+ gender?
What we have seen is a culmination of 20 years of ignoring discussions on "diversity" [who is "diverse"+ who isn't given location of Senedd in #Butetown, Wales 2nd most racially diverse ward?]. We have seen conversations on gender that resulted in gender shortlists w/o BAME women
Yes, of course it's important for politicians 2 reflect the communities they serve- but what do we do w/ the democratic gap and institutions that normalised a lack of 'diversity' in politics along w/ institutional racism? Who or what groups can benefit from that gap?
