Ealing Southall is one of a handful of seats where around half of the population is non-white. Much of this electorate is composed of a relatively successful Indian community with many small entrepreneurs. This is a constituency that John Major has been recently courting. There are also affluent, Conservative-voting areas. Labour's Sikh MP, Piara Khabra, won the seat in 1992 and Labour should expect to hold in 1997, but this is also a Conservative target seat.
