The EU Ref results once again reinforced there is same major changes in the voting pattern of Indian voters. Leicester, Brent & Harrow all voted to Remain.
But dig down a little bit more and you find Leicester East which has 49% Indian voters which on paper was in the top ten solid Remain, actually voted Leave, similarly Harrow East with 30% Indian voters also voted Leave and Brent North 32.9% Indian voters also voted Leave.
One person within Labour who recognised this shift is ex Leicester Cll Sundip Meghani who highlight in 2005 and his concern Labour were taking Indian voters for granted while Tories were proactively engaging with Indian voters. Hopefully if Labour are really serious they should have people like Sandip to help it reengage its too late. One thing is clear if MP's in these seats pledge to re-join EU in there manifesto for 2020 General Elections they may find on the wrong side again.
