THERE are 19,000 local councillors in England. With expenses sometimes as high as 50k for one of these, it's a very scary number.
And here is another frightening figure in a supposed age of progress with a black president set to take the helm in the USA - just 150 of those are women from ethnic minorities.
This is in an age where New Labour has tried to promote representation within politics. But it has clearly failed.
The 150 figure is in fact DOWN 14 on two years ago.
This is not good enough.
In the words of Barack Obama, can we change this? Yes, we can!
