“…Other research in the UK has suggested that 'second generation' ethnic minorities are less likely than their parents to participate in the democratic process (Sanders et al 2014). One explanation is a 'paradox of social integration' (Heath 2013) in which political disillusionment is a product integration -those brought up in Britain expect equality but also (as we saw in Chapter 3) have greater awareness of discrimination and inequality.…”

“…For example, Martinovic and Verkuyten (2014) suggest that dual ethnic-national identity reduces political engagement while both Simon and Grabow (2010) and Fischer-Neumann (2014) find the opposite. Sanders et al (2014) show that both ethnic embeddedness and majority acculturation are associated with greater political engagement among minorities. Naturalisation, which can be understood as affective investment in destination countries has also been linked, though not consistently, to political engagement of minorities (Hainmueller, Hangartner, and Pietrantuono 2015;Street 2017).…”

The rise across Europe of political parties espousing an ethnic conception of the nation, explicitly opposed to immigrants and minorities, has brought into stark relief the politics of identity. Exploiting multiple identity questions in a large, nationally representative UK survey, this paper investigates the drivers of ethnic and political identity and the extent to which they are similar. It does so for both the ethnic majority and ethnic minorities. Locating our analysis within social identity theory, we consider the role of observed characteristics, including party affiliation, the experience of harassment, and political context in shaping ethnic and political identities. We also show that there are unobserved factors jointly implicated in individuals' political and ethnic identities, which we interpret as providing suggestive evidence of more general political mobilisation of ethnicity. Although individual characteristics have largely expected associations with identity, we find that the local share of UKIP/BNP voters heightens ethnic but not political identity among both majority and minority populations. By contrast, harassment and discrimination shapes minorities' political but not ethnic identity. Contrary to expectations, both political and ethnic identities are stronger among secondgeneration compared to immigrant minorities.

“…Black minority ethnic citizens of all ages were significantly less likely to vote than the average UK citizen. However, this can largely be explained by the composition of BME citizens, who are generally younger and less well-off than the general population (Sanders et al 2014). Gender appeared to have no discernible effect on electoral participation in 2017.…”
