    Depends, the Labour party membership is much whiter than the Democrat membership in the States, some of the councils above have a higher Black representation like Lambeth and Brent.

    Yeah but the US is much more multiracial and has a different history to the UK anyway. A better comparison would be with e.g. the Socialist Party in France. As for councils like Lambeth and Brent, they do have large Black populations and so should have a reasonable representation on the council to begin with. All the same, it is noteworthy how whereas no London borough has Black councillors outnumbering White councillors, some do have South Asian councillors outnumbering White councillors: Tower Hamlets, Newham, Brent and most surprisingly Hounslow (!)

    London is 55% non-White British but many of those are foreigners, transient residents, who don't run for office.

    Well yes. Still, I think London is the most multi-ethnic city in Europe both in terms of demographics and its politicians (except perhaps Paris, though even that is a stretch).

    @Oliver and Longbowman: were there any councils that especially surprised you?
