What do you stand for?
Summary by STV’s Face-to-Face programme.
The Christian Party believes that it represents the best balance of the best characteristics of the other main parties - the financial prudence of the Tories and their conservative instincts; the social conscience of Labour and their concern for the working man; our paramount concern for religious and civil liberties championed in the past by the Lib Dems and their regard for freedom of speech; a care for the environment with conscientious accountability for Earth’s resources seen in the Greens; and the passion for Scotland and our heritage voiced by the SNP. However, each of these parties is unbalanced in some aspect even of their best policies, and we try to get these in balance. So what colour should your politics be?
1. We believe in small government and aim to reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency. We offer sound moral values ~ family and communities ~ investing for healthy and educated children ~ supporting disability ~ individual freedom within the law ~ educational and training opportunities ~ developing self-worth and one’s God-given potential ~ self-sufficiency in energy supplies ~ buoyant economy ~ safe environment ~ strong national defence ~ a United Kingdom and mutual international respect.
2. The Christian Party offers integrity in political leadership and a strong commitment to family values, freedom with responsibility, and time-honoured moral standards. We have a vision for Scotland which even the Scottish National Party does not articulate and for Wales that Plaid Cymru does not spell out either.
3. In order to stand for these in public life we need your support. Can you stand with us, and by God’s grace revitalise our society?
4. For more information on the need for Christian politicians acting in public life, see the various articles at The Christian Institute.
5. The Christian Institute fights legal cases to defend Christians being harassed for expressing their faith. The Christian Party engages in the political process in order to change these laws with which Christians are harassed. If Christians will not spend time, money and effort in the political process, then they will spend time, money and effort in defending themselves against religiously-motivated harassment. It is the difference between fire prevention and fire-fighting.
