Why are the Mayor of London candidates white middle-class men?

The Mayor of London will be elected on May 1st, 2008. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown reflects on the two front-runners, Ken Livingstone (Labour, currently Mayor)and Boris Johnson (Conservative). "Our capital is dynamic, unpredictable, exciting and at times menacing, glamorous, and though criminally expensive, creative, growing, open, fast, shifting, 'glocal' – meaning local and global – infinitely various, a vast conurbation where the filthy rich have to share localities with the great unwashed, whites with blacks and Asians. ... I see my city as feminine and dead sexy. The blood of many nations courses through her and she will not be tamed nor possessed by any one of the tribes that have made her who she is. So how has it come to pass that once again, for the third election running, the top candidates for the Mayor's job are all white, middle-class men ?"
