I would like to thank all those who voted for the Christian Peoples Alliance (CPA) in the recent election.

While out canvassing, I was advised that there are too many issues facing our nation that are too important to be left to minority parties, suggesting that only the major parties were in a position to deal with them.

It is a marriage breakdown that is costing the country close to £49bn per annum.

The loss of nearly 8m taxpayers and National Insurance (NI) contributors since 1967 through legalised abortion has led to NI contributions being increased, on an average of £20 a person, in order that the surviving generations pay for future pensions The state retirement age has been raised to keep more people in work to try and avert the shortfall.

Neither of these issues were addressed in the other parties’ manifestos.

We are a small party, just 16 years old, but the CPA will return again, God willing, in five years’ time.

In the meantime, I look forward to campaigning not only against the Beddington incinerator but in the London Assembly elections.
