Who Would Jesus Vote For?
I can see Andy's point, and as a friend I can see exactly where he is coming from, although it seems to have riled one or two Tories. But note he said "might vote Labour" not "would vote Labour". That said, I think we ought to always be vigilant about linking Christ with our political beliefs to the point of linking one's Party with one's faith to the exclusion of others. We see a lot of that already in the States with some people thinking that if you are a Christian and are a proud Democrat or Republican (depending on your own views), then there is something diluted about your faith.

Well, of course, everyone thinks He would vote for their political party. To me it is quite clear He would support the Lib Dems... "There is no male nor female, slave nor free" n all that jazz. Of course- another person would use the same quote to support socialism or individual enterprise.
Jesus said "Follow me"!
