How should I vote as a Christian?

Does the news of a general election fill you with excitement, fear or just a sense of general apathy or confusion? James Mildred explains why Christians should be hopeful and prayerful in engaging with politics 

After a day of frenzied speculation, with Westminster becoming increasingly febrile, the Prime Minister has announced the next General Election will happen on Thursday 4 July.

For the next six weeks, Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, Ed Davey and other leading politicians will have the chance to win your vote.

Perhaps you’re excited, or just feel a sense of weariness. Maybe you are hopeful about what the prospect of a potential change in government may bring, or fearful of what a change might mean.
