Summary This study explores ethnic community political participation in local politics in a North West British town. The analysis is located within the framework of the shift from Fordism to post-Fordism. After 1977 the shift from Fordism to post-Fordism brought about a decline in ethnic political participation. While conferment of citizenship secured their right to stay in Britain, the rise in consumerism undermined the manufacturing sector on which they depended for work. With no ethnic political identity today, these communities are again politically disadvantaged
