Quiz your candidates!
Next
Thursday (22nd May), the UK will elect 73 Members of the European
Parliament for the next 5 years. These representatives will have
significant influence over life in the UK and across Europe. The
elections are also being seen as a test of public opinion ahead of next
year's General Election. The results are likely to have an impact on
what policies the parties offer to the electorate next year. This is an important opportunity to raise issues that are of great concern for Christians.
How will you vote?
To help you make the most of your vote, we have developed an easy-to-use tool to enable you to contact the European Parliamentary candidates in your area and find out what they think about some key issues - including marriage, Christian freedoms and the protection of human life.
It only takes a few moments to complete - click here to use it right now.
You can use the tool to quiz candidates in your region from the bigger parties. To get in touch with the smaller parties, including the Christian Peoples Alliance, please visit this page.
Sending a message
The 'Quiz the candidates' tool sends an email message to the candidates that you choose. Hopefully,they will respond quickly so that you know where they stand and can make an informed choice. But even if they don't, sending a message ensures that they know what issues are important to you as a Christian. So don't delay, take five minutes to send a message by clicking here.
It's local too
There are also local elections taking place in many parts of the UK. We'd encourage you to get in touch with your local candidates too and ask them about what matters to you - you could use the questions on the 'quiz your candidates' tool as a guide.
