Me: "Blowin' up the 'ouses of Parliament then?"I suppose that is a fair enough picture of the opinion of the average bloke about politics and politicians. It's a rather dangerous mood; I don't claim that parliamentary democracy is an objectively perfect method of government but I do fear that if there is to be a change in how our country is governed, the godless secularism of England at the present is not a promising basis on which to construct an alternative.

On Thursday we must vote in the European Elections (for the "must" see CCC 2240). The system is full-on proportional representation so we have to vote for a party rather than a person. You may want to have a look at the Christian Party / Christian Peoples Alliance ("Put your X by the Cross".) The mainfesto has a clear policy of opposition to abortion, embryo experimentation, cloning, IVF, and "marriage between one man and one woman for life as the best place for children to be raised, including by adoptive relationships."

"Democracy" is in my opinion quite the wrong word to describe the modern system of government in Britain.
"Elective oligarchy" would, I think, be more accurate.
I understand all that, Father but the way things are at the moment; a) a vote for the Christian Party is a wasted vote b) my duty is to keep out the BNP at all costs and c) the Labour Party is still, if only just, the party of the working class because of the union link.
Therefore I am voting Labour.
On Thursday we must vote in the European Elections ... The system is full-on proportional representation so we have to vote for a party rather than a person.As an American who has an admiration of the Westminster system, imperfect though it might be, I have a one-word reaction to "full-on proportional representation":
AAAAAAAAAAGH!
Nothing can substitute for the good that comes from having one MP representing all the electors residing in one reasonably-sized constituency.
Hi Fr Tim, glad to have you back in 'Blighty.
I have to say I was more impressed by the leaflet we got through the door from the Christian Party / Christian Peoples Alliance, than from any of the other morally and politically bankrupt lot.
They talk about A Christian Europe - that recognises that Christianity brought Europe freedom, culture and values that we must return to.
Also most importantly they propose under a heading Respect for Human Life, 'full protection of the law for all human life from conception until natural death.'
Well that ticks the box for me. None of the other parties offer these prerequisites for the sort of society I want to live in and see my children and grandchildren grow up in.
Lib, Lab and Conservatives have had it all their way all these years and look at the b....y awful mess they've got this country in to.
I'll be voting Christian! There's really no alternative.
PS: I left the same comment in Fr Ray's com-box after a similar Euro election post of his.
The old political parties of the UK are so far removed from what we believe to be a just and right minded society as you can possibly get. And they think that to hang on to or grab back power they must side with and suck up to all the political radicals, reformers and cranks that 'prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls'.
Let's not forget that a united Christian front has won many battles in Europe over the centuries! The 'battle' ahead may be it's most important yet.
Dear Father Finigan
I have thanked the 'Green' London Assembly Member Darren Johnson for taking a strong STOP THE BNP initiative in his role as the Chair of the London Assembly, an action which has directly resulted in Nick Griffin the leader of the BNP pulling out of the royal garden party.
Nick Griffin said he had "no wish to embarrass the Queen". Can we now expect Richard Barnbrook's GLA resignation for being an embarrassment to London ?
In my opinion the 'entente cordiale' picture of Prince William as president of the FA enjoying a joke with European football's French president Michel Platini at the Champions League final in Rome on Wednesday evening, would not have possible if the BNP's Fuhrer Griffin had still been Buckingham Palace bound.
Please pray that Griffin, the lunatic BNP extremist leader, does win election to the European Parliament.

Thank you for a blog which provides a link with an inclusive modern Catholic life and a priest as human being and modern man. I live in the wilds of North Wales where to be a Catholic is seen as foreign, mediaeval, other. None of my children (4 born 1960s) or my grandchildren practise the faith. I thank God for you, but shall still vote Labour. Fallible human beings do not invalidate the transforming idea - that all of us matter as much as each other. God bless you. Mary Rose
Just to be clear, "you may want to have a look at ..." means just that. It is not my place to tell people how to vote but I did want to draw attention to the Christian party.
They would have their own line on the "keeping out the BNP" issue. I do entirely agree that it is vital to do what we can to keep them out. Sadly I share the fear of many that the present fiasco over MPs expenses is birthday and Christmas together for the BNP.
We have Christian Democrats here in Finland, similar to the Christian Party. I will be voting for them. From what I've read on their website they are the only party which comply with those non-negotiables which the Holy Father spoke about some time ago, and they also oppose the entry of Turkey into the EU.
I find it quite astonishing that after 12 years of incompetence, secularisation, the systematic erosion of civil liberties and of individual responsibility, the wilful destruction of our heritage, an all-controlling mentality which has resulted in over 3,000 new criminal offences - amny of which carry custodial sentences - not to mention the financial hara-kiri which has reduced our economy to third world status, there are still people who are prepared to vote Labour.
But there is no accounting for human stupidity.
Dear Father, I am a faithful (and grateful) reader of yours from Finland. I'll be doing the same as the other commentator from Finland.
I am with you Rusticus all the way.

There are few things these days that make me happy to be Canuckistani, but most EU-related make the cut.
May Our Lady save Europe and may some grace be spared to save the rest of us!
Dear Father Finigan
Please could I make a 999 correction to the 666 error that I made in my original post i.e.....
