The reason for Christian politicians
30 December 2010
A letter in The Herald (30 December 2010) supplies the reason why we need specifically Christian politicians in the Scottish Parliament.
Writing on the general topic of why one politician cannot adequately represent all their constituents, a correspondent writes:
“It is similarly absurd to think that voters can be represented effectively by politicians who do not share their values or political priorities. No single person can represent all the opinions held in a parliamentary constituency. Furthermore, those with an MP on the government payroll will know that there is no possibility of effective representation when the only recourse is to a politician with a ministerial career at stake.”
“A great benefit of multi-member constituencies is that citizens have the opportunity to choose which of several politicians can best represent their interests on any particular matter. In this regard, Scottish councils and the Scottish Parliament serve the electorate well.”
This clearly expresses why Christians need Christian Party politicians in the Scottish Parliament.
