UK Conservatives shocked conventional wisdom yesterday, and increased their majority last night. David Cameron was re-elected MP for Witney and will remain as prime-minster for a second term. And how did UK's black center-right fare last night? Well, everyone of them held on to their seats, and will go on to represent their constituents in parliament. That said, they will be joined by a new black Member of Parliament, James Cleverly. Cleverly won 54% of the vote and will represent Braintree.
