What’s your manifesto? The Evangelical Alliance and CARE are canvassing Christians for their views about the most important issue for the next Government, on Twitter and Facebook.

Closing tax loopholes, water and sanitation for developing countries, strengthening support for the family and honesty are some of the ideas that have already been mooted on the My Manifesto page.

The best and most innovative ideas will be presented to the party leaders closer to the election.

Daniel Webster, Parliamentary Officer for the Evangelical Alliance, said: “Democracy isn’t just about what politicians want – it is about voters deciding what issues matter and what we want the Government to do.

“It’s so important not to let our disappointment in the behaviour of some of our politicians prevent us from raising the issues that matter in this election.”

CARE’s Development Officer Gareth Davies said: “In a closely fought campaign there is considerable pressure on politicians to focus on personalities rather than policies.

“We, the Christian community, should use our voice to ensure that candidates debate the issues of real importance for individuals, families, communities and nations at this crucial point of election.”
