British Asians in politics of the United Kingdom

There are many different types of people who live in the United Kingdom, and some of them have ancestors from Asia, which is a big continent far away. These people are often called "British Asians."

Sometimes, British Asians want to get involved in leading the country and making big decisions that affect everyone. This is called "politics." They might do this by being part of a political party, or by running for a position in the government.

In the past, it was harder for British Asians to get involved in politics because there weren't as many opportunities. But things have been getting better and more and more British Asians are now joining politics and making their voices heard. This is great because it means that everyone's ideas and experiences can be taken into account when making important decisions.
