It's the most diverse field of candidates ever to compete to lead the country. But don't expect the next PM to usher in a new age of inclusion, warns Gemma Doswell
It interests and heartens me that it's more diverse and representative of different ethnicities who live in the UK, though I'm not a Tory supporter. It makes me ask where the Labour Party is going wrong on this front? A bit puzzled by 'only one is a cis white male': who are the trans gender candidates? I honestly had no idea.
The contrast with Labour is a really interesting one, isn’t it? As for the gender issue, no transgender candidates but Tom Tugendhat is the only cis white male left, standing against Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Kemi Badenoch and Penny Mordaunt. X

OK, I understand, thanks for explaining.
Admittedly I'm behind on current vocab. I'd self-identify as a 'woman' not a 'cis female' 🙂
