Party leaders try to woo Christian voters (no, really)
The video below was made by Christians in Politics, a group that brings together Christians from New Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems. You can hear Brown, Cameron and Clegg’s attempts at pretending they care what Christians think.
Gordon Brown is his usual bizarre self. He says that churches and the Christian charities are Britain’s conscience. So why does he attack them with one round of legislation after another? Oh, yes. He’s a liar. I almost forgot.
Cameron talks about “change” three times. I don’t know if this means that his nappy is full, perhaps due to the fear of another ‘Gay Times’ moment.
Clegg just drones away and offers the spectacularly tedious cliché: move forward.
Perhaps the most disappointing thing is that John Sentamu fails to mention the fact that there are many other parties, even some who don’t have to pretend to be on the side of Christians. At the start of the video, he says he would love to see a 99% turnout at the election. This will make no difference if 90% of votes support the three parties he is plugging.
Isn’t it pathetic that our politicians now have to include the recognised religion of the land as one of their policies?
It shows just how far we’ve fallen Stewart and not only that, it shows how others have grown.
He who shouts loudest and all that…
Good point, SR. One of the buzz phrases today is “all religions and none” and Christianity has been reclassified as just another religion. I guess that was one of the main aims of mass immigration: destroy the nation’s heritage and values in order to destroy the nation.
It all becomes clearer as time goes by.
Tried to watch it, but couldn’t stomach the gurning and mincing of Brown, waffling about Christian conscience.
It is not a Christian duty to vote, the Arch Bishop is incorrect. There is a duty to be obedient to the powers that be, so long as those powers are ‘rewarding the good and punishing the evil’. When this is turned on it’s head, and bad is called good, evil is rewarded and righteousness punished, I have a Christian, moral, civic and obvious duty to disobey the liars and thieves that think they can parade Christ on an election broadcast in order to gain the Christian vote.
I am convinced that all the main parties are now so far away from anything resembling righteousness that it would be a sin to entangle myself in their murderous policies by voting for them.
English, I agree with you entirely.
