i was just looking at the candidates and noticing how similar nick clegg and david cameron look, and was just thinking to myself whether they'd ever be a coloured prime minister?

i'm asian and was born and brought up here, so technically i'm able to run for prime minister (if i had a party) but would a coloured person get any votes?

this is when someone pipes up saying that there's already been a non-white prime minister about 300 years ago or something.
