I'd rather have someone appointed on merit, not just to fulfil some sort of ethnic quota. Didn't see many ethnics in the higher echelons of Labour Cabinet did we, despite their mealymouthed obeisance to multiculturalism, inclusivity, positive discrimination etc.

Best candidate for the job should get it, irrespective of race, colour, gender, sexual preference or social background. Positive discrimination is STILL discrimination whatever way you want to dress it up.
