Chinese New Year

It was the Chinese New Year yesterday, and the Young Fabians kicking off the first in our series of #FabianFriday by having dinner and drinks in London's Chinatown organised by Membership and Partnership Officer Ade Adeyemi. Traditionally, Chinese voters have the lowest turnout for all ethnic groups (Bitish Election Studies, 2005). A dinner at a Chinese restaurant won't change that overnight, but it's a step in the direction of a more diverse Fabian society and Labour movement. Hopefully, the low Chinese voter turnout won't stay that way furlong but as we join the Chinese celebrating the year of the horse, we also wish you a year of prosperity and good luck. Kung Hay Fat Choy!
