Representation Politics: Finding the Middle with Chine and David Gyasi

Left, Right, or in the middle? Guest host and previous guest to the Tent Sheyi Martin-Allens presents a series of conversations with black and brown friends from across the political spectrum to discuss their thoughts on having Britain's first Asian prime minister along with a government containing an increasing amount of ethnic minorities. The series works through a number of conflicting questions, such as does having someone with the same skin color as us in positions of power mean we feel represented and do people with the same skin color or ethnic heritage need to hold to the same political views? Episode 3 is the first part of conversations with those who are navigating the tricky Middle: Chine and David Gyasi.
