It is no diffrent to voting for a libertarian because you beleive in what they stand for I certainly do not regard that as irrational. It is supporting someone who believes in similar things that you do.

No, there is a vast difference. The libertarian will enact libertarian policies. They will not enact Christian or atheist policies (if there is such a thing as an atheist policy). I would not vote for Mike Huckabee, not because he is a Christian, but because he wants to enact Christian policies into what should be a secular state which separates church and state in its own constitution.

I would sooner vote for atheist John Stuart Mill than Catholic Hitler.

So because you do not beleive in this mans policys you would not vote for him, but perhaps a christian would the question is why is that irrational? perhaps a christian might think a country would be better if it was chrisitan and not secualr, is that irrational?

Huckleberry isn't a true Christian. He has killed 10 people, believes in premptive war and has no problems with stealing from people.

My ignore list

Labour, Blue Labour, Lib Dems

Britannist

"Clegg does not believe in God" it is claimed above.

Well, one thing is clear - he doesnt' believe in the UK either. And neither does his party.

Britannist

Rather him than me.

Yes Indeed, another ghastly europhile who must be overcome.

And the majority of people who vote for the Liberal 'Democrats' wouldn't either if they knew what their policies were (i.e. destroying our ancient Pound; reducing defence expenditure, forcing the UK into an EU Superstate, raising tax, increasing immigration etc.).

Britannist

In my view, the europhile Clegg - despite all his 'hot air' now - is not going to be able to stop the anti-Iraq 'war' protest vote the Liberal Dims got last time returning to the Labour fold at the next General Election. He may enjoy a 'political honeymoon' since he is new (as leader of his party) - increased support for his party in the opinion polls - but it will be a temporary rise in projected support in the polls which will reduce as Labour get back the votes it lost to the Liberal Dims at the May 2005 General Election.

Smidgey

No, because in order to create a Christian state one must make Christian policies, that was my point. In order to create a libertarian, socialist, conservative or nationalist state the religion of the representatives is irrelevant (unless they decide that it is not by trying to promote religious legislation).
