Story idea on London based Chinese community

Story pitch

......

At the moment some Chinese communities in London are encouraging Chinese residents who are eligible to vote to turn up on the election day.

They organise different activities and explain to the voters how to register to vote and what the voting procedure is.

It would be nice to do a story about what the Chinese residents have understood about the general election in the UK, and what their attitude towards the election.

Editor's comment

This would be very interesting...also interesting because there is a Chinese candidate for Holborn and St Pancras - George Lee so this may be even more interesting for Chinese Londoners this year?

We need to be careful that we are very balanced in our reporting - we cannot favour one party over another or give more publicity to one candidate over another.
 
It is worth reading these guidelines:

But yes, it would be very interesting to find out what the Chinese community think about the coming election. We have a national election as well as local elections.
