CILEx seems to want to conflate two issues here; the lack of diversity in the upper echelons of the profession and the lack of respect that they suggest they receive (presumably from solicitors). It would perhaps be more honest to simply say that they would like parity with solicitors so that they can receive the respect they feel they deserve from solicitors and the public at large rather than trying to hitch their argument to one of diversity.

If it is the case that CILEx are just as good (and I make no comment either way) then why bother with the solicitor qualification at all?

If it can be demonstrated that the route to qualification for CILEX is as rigorous as the route to Solicitor qualification then parity should be granted of course.
